Seaslugs

I haven't seen a lot of nudibranches and flatworms in this trip but diving in nudi falls I expected to get a few snapshots of new species (for my personal database at least). I was not disappointed with the Hoplodoris nodulosa or the Glossodoris rufomarginatus. I did not have time to ids all of the critters because I can't find the time and resources to do so efficiently. Of course frogfish were there as well as the Banggaai cardinalfish.

Pygmy seahorse - Hyppocampus bargibanti - This is a TINY one. Each time I was looking somewhere else I needed at least 10 seconds to find it again.

I love Lembeh strait. Amazing plance for nudi. This is probably the only place I want to go back again.

Nice shooting !

I'm not a scuba diving expert,
but that world of color is just
recall and echoes to nature beauty.

In astronomy we said /* clear skies */
but i presume that it's better to
wish you:

Clear Water

A+
