Not sure where to put this so starting a new topic.
Hideki Abe is a famous underwater photographer. His site has some great photos of squid and other ocean related things.

Wow, some amazing photos there! Japan has a lot more species of cephalopods than we have here in Oz.
I noticed a link on his site to the 'Theatre of Love', where he has pictures of what appear to be mating anglerfish, with speech bubbles (in Japanese), I would love to know what they are saying.
Thanks for posting. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
