Cruising through the Crynoids

Slow and steady panning shots have never been easier with a little propulsion. The T16 giving me the speed I need to succeed.

Not all hunts turn into a fight, but some do… wait for it! 🐙🐙

I was following this Giant Pacific Octopus while it was on the hunt for a tasty meal, when something incredible happened.

It slowly slinked over a crack in the wall, which was hiding a second GPO! After a surprisingly quick squabble over territory, our hunter shot away to hunt a different section of the reef.
