Weird and Wonderful Underwater world of North Sulawesi (Part II)
1. Solar Powered Nudie.
These Nudies are know to ingest coral polyps in their early lives so that the algea that normally reside in the corals would reemerge (migrate) after the digestions and survive by clinging on to the inner walls of the Nudies' cerata (mantles) and continue on with the photosyntesis process. Which in turn produces energy. The result of it is that the Nudies get free lunches everyday and have no need to feed or work....
2. The beautiful flowery marks are the algea, that same ones which give the corals their vibrant colours. Here the orange sheen is equally tentalising.
3. Two Emperor Shrimps hitching a ride on a huge Malibe Fimbriata (a kind of nudie)
4. Risbecia tryoni
5. You, me and Marley
6. Honey....Its not fair that Marley is always scratching your back.....
7. Hypselodoris infucata
8. Glossodoris rufomarginata
9. Chromodoris reticulata
10. Chromodoris willani
11. Chromodoris lochi (pink and yellow gills)
12. Nembrotha chamberlaini
13. Nembrotha cristata
14. Nembrotha yonowae
15. Ceratosoma tenue
16. Box Crab
17. Elbow Crab, appearing just like a piece of dead leaf
18. Orang Utan Crab, hiding among the Bubble Corals
19. Porcelain Crab
20. A Decorator Crab. You can hardly pin point any of its body parts because the whole body was laden with different kinds of Coral Polyps, sponges and god know what other substrates.
21. Long Armed Spider Crab
22. Arrow Crab
23. Carrier Crab bench-pressing a Long Spine Red Urchin
24. Soft Coral Crab hiding among the Carnation Soft Coral
25. A Long Legged Squat Lobster
26. Pink Hairy Squat Lobster
27. Upside down Jellyfish
28. A yellow Thorny Seahorse
29. A pink pygmy seahorse, notice there is a ladybug amphipod on top of the branch just right behind the seahorse. There were many lurking around, as seen from other pics.
30. A Hermit Crab, In a shell that is embellished with huge coral polyps
31. Ooops....Pop goes the Corals, sorry guys............. Wardrobe Malfunction!
32. Conch Shell
33. Finger nail sized Bobtail Squids
34. A baby Cuttlefish clutching at a stalk.
35. Eggs (just about to be hatched) of a
Flamboyant Cuttlefish
36. A Mimic Octopus, the mascot of Lembeh Strait. This octupus has been known to mimic (instead of camorflage) the looks and actions of: Flouders, Jellyfish, Sea Star, Sea Snakes, Lionfish etc.
37. The Long Armed Octopus
38. Veined Octopus (Aka. Coconut Octopus as it has been known to live in discarded cocunut shells) Here we see them using Scallop shell, Conch shell and Clam shell as their makeshift house.
39. Two Whip Coral Shrimps on a Whip Coral
40. A Whip Coral Shrimp spotted with a round "hump" or "pouch" on its back. I have no idea what to make of it, could it be an egg?Add a captionA Whip Coral Shrimp spotted with a round "hump" or "pouch" on its back. I have no idea what to make of it, could it be an egg?
41. A commensal Emporer Shimp on a Sea Star. Notice the colouration of the shrimp is close to the host, an effective camorflage.
42. 10,9,8,7.........Make sure you hide properly cause we a coming to get you. (A pair of Anemone Cleaner Shrimps playing hide and seek).
43. Anemone Shrimp...this one is a mum to be
44. A baby Harlequin Shrimp, which feed exclusively on the Sea Stars. Notice its diminutive size placed before the tip of a screwdriver.
45. A burrowing Mantis Shrimps, which are known sometimes to attack the camara dome port. Their claws are so powerful that they can crack the dome port in split seconds.
46. A most peculiar Mantis Shrimp. Not identified yet. Neon Orange in colour, captivating to say the least.
47. A Bobbit Worm. A nortonal worm about 7 to 9 feet long. Ambush predators feed on small fish and invertabrates. Notice its scissorlike mouth known to snap shut in breakneck speed mauling its pray before taking them in as food. This one should be rename the "Jaws 2"
48. A Bristle Worm. scavengers and meat eaters
49. A poisonous Flower Urchin
50. A Heart Urchin
51. A colony of sea squirts, aka. the Ascidians. some sort of sponge-like substances, taking in the nutrients in the water, flush out the filtered water.
