Thanks for the tip Debra. No, I had never seen them before.

Lots of great images here, Ken. Nudibranchs seem to be your favorite subjects. I liked both the pictures and the subjects you chose. The grizzly bear and leaping salmon on the brooks river would probably be accepted by any major calendar publisher.

I thought the Indondesia animals were the most interesting. That blue ribbon eel on the bottom was the oddest moray eel I have ever seen ( I assume that's what it is). Also that seahorse with the red warts was exceptional. The red bumps probably mimic the coral it prefers to live in (makes sense). Great hornbill shot. I thought all the hornbills were in Africa.

I think I read somewhere that the Indonesian archipelago has the richest diversity of marine life in the world due eons of stable climatic conditions. Maybe that's why I liked those images the most. All are great though.

Kens' da man with the eye! So I take it they are not caught in traditional traps or they would be more available?

Thanks Skipjack. I greatly appreciate the nice comments. You are right about the pygmy seahorse with the red warts. They are only found on gorgonian corals with the same red warts. Amazing mimicry. They are only about 1/2 inch long, hard to find.

PS the blue ribbon eel is a moray. Member of the muraenidea family of eels.

We call them slipper lobster here in Florida. Usually found upside down attached to the inside of coral heads.I prefer them over spineys they taste sweeter.

Actually Debra..


That is how a thread is suppose to follow suit isn't it. It isn't always necessary to stay exactly on topic. I like evolving content as long as it stays in the ballpark and to the initial discussion so to speak. You made the post more interesting and popular in doing so.
