Don't you walk away from me when I'm talking to you!

Sorry about the picture quality, I didn't want to get any closer. This was a very curious encounter.
You would see more of these rare Finger Dragonettes in aquariums than in nature:

This one was slightly larger than my thumbnail. The rocks you see in the foreground are actually pebbles and sand.

The Dragonette was facing me, fully aware of my presence. When I got closer, with the timing of a comedian or a disobedient child, it just turned and casually crawled off. I could have sworn that it had a rather bemused smile on it's face; as if to say: "darned tourists" or "amateur".

But then again that could be the effect of Nitrogen on my perception.
