Tongue Parasites

Critters, Diving Stories, LembehBy NAD LembehFebruary 11, 20121 Comment

As already mentioned in previous blog posts there are many parasites here in Lembeh Strait that for example stick on the head or cheek of fishes. Another very common type of parasite is the tongue parasite (Tongue-Biter Cymathoid Isopod, Cymothoa exigua) that lives in the mouth of various fishes – mainly in Anemonefishes. They enter through…

Creature Feature: Flamboyant Cuttlefish

Creature Feature, Critters, LembehBy NAD LembehFebruary 8, 2012Leave a comment

The Flamboyant Cuttlefish (Metasepia pfefferi) is a member of the cuttlefish family – but a very untypical one. Unlike other cuttlefish it is not shy at all but displays it’s poppy colour signals to communicate the potential danger of the poison in his flesh to potential predators. This makes it really easy to observe and photograph…

Creature Feature: Pontohi Pygmy Seahorse

Creature Feature, Critters, LembehBy NAD LembehJanuary 26, 2012Leave a comment

The Pygmy Seahorses are without doubt among the most attractive critters – they are cryptic, hard to find but yet beautiful. And for a lot of divers the Pontohi Pygmy Seahorse (Hippocampus pontohi or Weedy Pygmy Seahorse) is even more special than other Pygmy Seahorses. The Pontohi Pygmy Seahorse was first seen in 2003 in…

Goby with 3 parasites on his head

Critters, Diving StoriesBy NAD LembehJanuary 25, 20122 Comments

On one of this weeks morning dives we went diving at Tanjung Tebal – one of Lembeh Strait’s best coral dives with lots of Seafans, whips and soft corals. It is just a dive that has to be timed well with currents. We went there this week on slack tide with just a gentle water…

Beautiful variation of Hippocampus denise

Critters, LembehBy NAD LembehJanuary 22, 2012Leave a comment

This Picture of our Repeater Guest Mood shows a beautiful Pygmy seahorse found by our dive guide Paulus. Paulus has found already several of them over the last 10 years – but not many. And this is one of them. It is most probably a variation of the Denise Pygmy Seahorse and usually found in…
