Incredible Videography
I’ve seen many strange things, weird behaviour and odd critters while in Lembeh, but this is one of the most bizarre sights I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing… Now I’ve seen Carry Crabs carrying Urchins, Jellyfish, banana skins, pieces of cardboard and crinoids….I’ve seen shrimp and even fish on nudibranchs…but what I had never...
Something strange caught my eye on a dive the other day. I was swimming along, looking for the usual Lembeh suspects when, in the corner of my vision, I saw a small white shape moving erratically through the water. I snapped my head around and saw a sight that I had never seen before…...
Nudibranchs, as many of you know, do not always have the easiest of names to remember, There are so many of them and they tend to be called things like Dark Margin Glossodoris (Glossodoris atromarginata) or Much Desired Flabellina (Flabellina exopata)…. One of my favourite nudis is the subject of this week’s video, It...
This week we were diving at Jahir 2, one of our great muck sites. It the midst of the expanse of black featureless sand Jenly, our trainee dive guide, spotted a very cool and interesting nudi, a Bumpy Dendrodoris. At first glance, though a fairly large nudi at around 10cm/3”, it doesn’t look that...
This is a Phyllodesmium poindimiei . I found it around 20m deep, moving along the sand. What made is really stand out was what I saw as I started to take some extreme close up shots. As you can see, the nudi’s body seems to be filled with small white balls. What was even...
This has to be one of the most beautiful molluscs we get. It is circumtropical, but this is the first one I’ve seen in Lembeh. It is about 5cm long and it was a pleasure to watch this wonderful creature. I found this on a night dive, moving around on the sand. The Paperbubbles...
These large nudibranchs are carnivorous and have a great way of feeding. They throw their ‘head’, an oval veil, in front of them, and using hairs around the edge, attempt to scoop up whatever they can find, usually small Crustacea. You can watch this Melibe moving around, searching for food. About 2/3 of the...
As adult, Egg Cowries are not the most exciting of critters. Most divers would swim over one, as the do not ever seem to move, and are completely covered by their black mantles. They sit on leathery soft coral, which they eat. The juveniles, however, are very beautiful, and very occasionally we catch one moving. These...
Nudibranches, sometimes known by their much less attractive name of ‘Sea Slugs’ are one of the wonders of the underwater realm. Unlike their land-based cousins, these ‘slugs’ are incredibly beautiful and exist in 1000s of different varieties. This is a macro collection of some of the Nudibranches I saw this week in...
You would probably swim over the top of one of these small sand-covered conch and never give them a second glance… ..but if you did, and they were hungry, you would get to see this wonderful and surprising trunk-like appendage swaying around, looking for a good meal!! They also have beautiful eyes and goes to...
