The Hairy Octopus is one of the rarest critters in Lembeh Strait. It can be only seen extremely seldom throughout the year and is mainly spotted during a short period towards the end of the year. Usually this is in October-November. But this year we had a extremely good pre High Season with stable low water temperatures the whole…

Some of them old acquaintances, some of them I have seen before but not in Lembeh, and some I have never seen before.…
Some blog posts are pretty easy to write, as I am pretty certain that I know the answers to the problems I present. Of course, as a scientist, I realize that time might prove me wrong, but as far as I believe I have a reasonable explanation, I am fine with that. Others are harder,…
We had a really good year for Rhinopias and several individuals of the Weedy Rhinopias (Rhinopias frondosa) and the Paddleflap Rhinopias (Rhinopias Eschmeyri) could be seen here in Lembeh. So it was not a big suprise when we received whatsapp messages on the BOOT Show in Düsseldorf that our guides had found another Rhinopias while we…
