Creature Feature: Paper Nautilus

Creature Feature, Critters, MiscellaneousBy NAD ManagerSeptember 9, 2020Leave a comment

Blackwater Dives are all about the weird and wonderful. Strange larval fish that you haven’t seen before, little crustaceans seemingly just floating around, and hunting squids are all part of the regular sightings we get here in Lembeh. One critter that is not so common but just as strange and interesting is the paper nautilus,…

Creature Feature, Critters, Lembeh, MiscellaneousBy NAD ManagerAugust 19, 2020Leave a comment

As you can tell by the title of this blogpost, today we are going to be delving deeper into Seahorses! They are a fun subject, although sometimes very camera shy. Let’s go through some interesting facts about these equine fish! Here in the Lembeh Strait we get several different species of Seahorse, Thorny, Pygmy, and…

Creature Feature: Bornella anguilla

Creature Feature, Critters, LembehBy NAD ManagerJuly 22, 2020Leave a comment

As you already know, there are a lot of different types of Nudibranchs here in Lembeh, and we mean a lot! But some species are more requested and sought after than others, for example the Ghost nudibranch (Melibe colemani) or the Solar-Powered nudibranchs (Phyllodesmium). Another example of a bucket-list-slug, is the Bornella anguilla which we…

Creature Feature: Bobtail Squid

Biology, Creature Feature, Critters, Lembeh, MiscellaneousBy NAD ManagerJuly 15, 2020Leave a comment

One of our favourite subjects to see on night dives is the Bobtail Squid! Here in Lembeh we often see Berry’s Bobtail Squid, sometimes known as the Hummingbird Bobtail Squid (Euprymna berryi). These tiny cephalopods are always fun to try spot and then shoot, as their jewel like appearance makes for a great colours. Berry’s…

Creature Feature: Blanket Octopus

Creature Feature, Critters, Lembeh, MiscellaneousBy NAD ManagerJuly 1, 2020Leave a comment

When it comes to “must see” underwater critters, cephalopods are usually high up on people’s lists. There may be one that has very recently become more sought after than others, the Blanket Octopus. In the Blanket Octopus family there are 4 different species (Tremoctopus spp.) all of which share pretty much the same characteristics. Their…

Creature Feature: Phyllodesmium Nudibranchs

Creature Feature, Critters, Lembeh, MiscellaneousBy NAD ManagerJune 3, 2020Leave a comment

We are very lucky to get many beautiful and interesting Nudibranchs here in Lembeh. Now as you may know, there are plenty of different species of sea slugs, they can be a bit difficult to keep track of! In this blog post we will be looking closer at the Phyllodesmium Nudibranchs!  The genus Phyllodesmium Nudibranchs…

Creature Feature: Pink Eye Goby

Creature Feature, Critters, Lembeh, MiscellaneousBy NAD ManagerMay 21, 2020Leave a comment

There are plenty of different species of goby that can be found here in Lembeh. We’re going to focus on one of the most recognisable species today, the Pink Eye Goby! Its scientific name is Bryaninops natans, but it is more commonly known as the Pink Eye (or hovering) Goby. The reasons for that are…

Creature Feature: Lembeh/Ocellated Frogfish

Creature Feature, Critters, Lembeh, MiscellaneousBy NAD ManagerMay 8, 20202 Comments

It’s always extremely exciting whenever a new species gets discovered or described. When this particular frogfish was identified, it was a personal highlight of mine and many other critter/frogfish lovers as it had been photographed many times over without anything concrete to say what it was. Then in a scientific paper by Pietsch and Arnold…

Creature Feature: Bryozoan Goby

Creature Feature, CrittersBy NAD ManagerJanuary 28, 2020Leave a comment

We are extremely fortunate to have a wide variety of gobies that can be found throughout the Lembeh straits. Ranging from shrimp gobies, that have their homes in the sand, to reef gobies that choose different environments within the reef for them to shelter. Like with many of Lembeh’s underwater critters, once you know where…

Creature Feature: Ornate Ghost Pipefish

Creature Feature, MiscellaneousBy Sonja GeierDecember 19, 2018Leave a comment

It’s the season for Ornate Ghost Pipefishes here in Lembeh! This exotic looking fish hovers head down and can usually be found in pairs or smaller groups. Most of the time Ornate Ghost Pipefishes live right next to crinoids, feather stars or soft corals. Colors can vary from black, red, yellow to white.
