Striped Eel Catfish

Plotosus lineatus

Dendrodoris carbunculosa at Dili Rock

Dili Rock was a bit cloudy today...perfect condition for some of the more reclusive creatures to come out and enjoy the day. This Dendrodoris carbunculosa was foraging on the coral rubble at 9 meters. By the way, I just had to touch this guy. He was not slimy and actually harder than I expected.

Today at Tasi Tolu

The first photo is of a Bent Stick Pipefish, the king of all pipefishes. I'd say this guy was around 30cm, or 12 inches.

Thanks to Jonathan, Sven, and Paulo for a fantastic dawn dive at Tasi Tolu this morning. Here are a few of the highlights.
