I spent 2 weeks here routinely, and I never spot critters that small. I do home in pretty well on lionfish.

When searching for critters, it helps that many of them have certain preferences in their habitat. For example, sheep nudis, while ridiculously tiny (~5mm at most, and usually smaller) tend to congregate on fairly prominent green leaves, so you don't need to sieve through the whole sandy bottom, only the leaves of the specific type. Experienced guides usually know lots of such relationships.
