Pipefish couples on NAD Housereef

Critters, housereef, LembehBy NAD LembehMarch 6, 2012Leave a comment

The housereef at NAD-Lembeh Resort is very popular – specially for a late afternoon dive to jump in quickly after coming back with the PM boat. People usually jump in then around 7 PM to see the courting of the Lembeh Seadragons, the Twin Spot Gobies (before it gets dark) and then some bobtailsquids and…

More little green shrimps found

Critters, Diving Stories, LembehBy NAD LembehMarch 5, 2012Leave a comment

Since we found the first specimen of the green Phycocaris Species 5 months passed already and we are finding them since then constantly. After all we still don’t know if it is a new species or if it is just a variation of Phycocaris simulans (also known as the “Hairy Shrimp”) but we are at…

Things on sponges

Critters, Lembeh, UncategorizedBy NAD LembehMarch 3, 2012Leave a comment

Lembeh Strait is a Muckdiving paradise – and it has many interesting habitats to offer. Algae, Sand, Rubble, Coral, Rocks and Sponges. This week i took 3 nice photos with different animals all living on the same type of sponge – i just realized that, when going through my pictures of this week. There are many other…

Creature Feature: Mimic Octopus

Creature Feature, Critters, LembehBy NAD LembehMarch 2, 2012Leave a comment

The Mimic Octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus) is surely one of the signature critters of the Lembeh Strait. Even though it can be seen throughout South East Asia (and also some other locations) it is way more likely to encounter this critter here in Lembeh. The Mimic Octopus grows to about 30cm in length (arm length) and…

A dream comes true: the Zebra Seahorse

Critters, Dive Center, LembehBy NAD LembehMarch 1, 20121 Comment

Hairy Frogfish, Rhinopias, Hairy Octopus, Blue Ringed Octopus – most Muck Divers coming to Lembeh have a “Holy Grail” on their Bucket List. Mine has always been the Zebra Seahorse. Our Dive Guide Paulus says that he has seen the last one something like 10 years back in Hairball – and this week he found…

Shrimps, Shrimps, Shrimps …

Critters, Diving Stories, LembehBy NAD LembehFebruary 29, 2012Leave a comment

As always Lembeh Strait offers premier Critter Diving. But these days there seem to be a lot of “special” shrimp around. Besides all the  different cleaner shrimps, commensal shrimps and other shrimps i see these days a big amount of rare species like Harlequin Shrimps, Tiger Shrimps, Hairy Shrimps, Rock Shrimps, Bumblebee Shrimps, Soft Coral…

New Dive Site

Critters, Diving Stories, Lembeh, ResortBy NAD LembehFebruary 28, 2012Leave a comment

On yesterdays morning dives we wanted to go to Batu Sandar 2 (or “Rojos”) but there were already 3 boats on site (2 directly on the dive site and one boat just jumping next to the dive site). So we decided to try something new and avoid the crowds. We kept going until we reached…

Fighting Two Spot Wrasses

Critters, Diving Stories, LembehBy NAD LembehFebruary 26, 2012Leave a comment

Lembeh is not only a place to see rare critters – due to its shallow depths and easy diving conditions it is also a very good place to observe marine animal behavior. After some busy days doing gardening work in the resort i finally went diving again yesterday afternoon. And it was a treat to…

Markus and Nicole – the Frogfish Maniacs

Critters, Diving Stories, LembehBy NAD LembehFebruary 25, 20121 Comment

Today Markus and Nicole from Germany left NAD Lembeh Resort after a 20 days stay with us. And during that stay we found out really quickly that they have a strong preference for black sand muck dives and that Markus is absolutely crazy about frogfish. And frogfishes he got. They saw minimum 25 different individual…

Seahares keep coming!

Critters, Diving Stories, LembehBy NAD LembehFebruary 20, 20121 Comment

Yesterday we went to Madidir 1 – a black sand muckdive at the southern end of the Lembeh Strait. It is a dive site we preferrably dive from february to april and this was our first visit for this year. Besides several seahorses, pipehorses, octopus, shaggy frogfish and a black hairy frogfish we also found…
