Gelastocaris paronae / Lembeh Strait

Cryptic Sponge Shrimp: Creature Feature

Creature Feature, MiscellaneousBy Serge AbourjeilySeptember 24, 2015Leave a comment

The Cryptic Sponge Shrimp or Paron Shrimp (Gelastocaris paronae) is a small crustacean that really has perfected its camouflage. It grows to about 2,5 cm in size and lives on sponges which it matches perfectly in colour, texture and shape: The Cryptic Sponge Shrimp has very small dark spots all over its body that make him actually…

Trapania Mini World

Critters, Diving Stories, LembehBy Serge AbourjeilyApril 2, 2015Leave a comment

On a recent Muck Dive in the north of the Lembeh Strait we had a blast: Hairy Frogfishes (3 of them), Mimic Octopus, Wonderpus, Coconut Octopus, Seahorses and many more. Plus i had to find out, that all these subjects where way too big for my 100mm lens on APS-C sensor. So i left all these critters…

Hairy Squat Lobster

Creature Feature, CrittersBy NAD LembehNovember 19, 2012Leave a comment

The Hairy Squat Lobster (Lauriea siagiani) lives in the crevices of the large barrel sponges here in the Lembeh Strait. They typically hide pretty well making it tricky to photograph them, and extremely hard to video them.  I found this guy on a night-dive and he was sat out and moving around, in fact he…

On a recent dive trip to Teluk Kembahu (TK) our Guide Indra showed me this weird shrimp. He was actually trying to find a Bumblebee Shrimp by looking under a pile of old ropes, that were encrusted with a big plastic tarp. But instead he found a big colony of various shrimps including Brittle Star…

Painted Frogfish Couple

Critters, Diving Stories, LembehBy NAD LembehApril 14, 2012Leave a comment

On todays morning dives we had several highlights such as Banded Tozeuma Shrimps, Bumblebee Shrimp and other rare Critters – but the funniest thing were these two painted frogfish hiding in a purple sponge. They where in the famous rubble patch at TK1. First there was one of them on each side of the sponge…

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…
