elbuzo 8 Posted November 26, 2006 I couldn't find this one on my fish I.D. book . Looks a little like the arrow blenny from the caribbean . I found this one at Bangka in around 10-15 ft. of water. I will appreciatte if someone could help me with the name. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leslie 0 Posted November 26, 2006 Looks like the long-snout clingfish Diademichthys lineatus. Often found among long-spines urchins (Diadema) which the genus is named after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

echeng 0 Posted November 26, 2006 Whenever I see these guys in crinoids (twice this month while I was in PNG) I get really excited and point them out to my fellow divers. I try to communicate telepathically: "look! they're supposed to be in urchins but this guy is in a crinoid! isn't that exciting!??!" Usually, they don't get as excited as I.

RebreatherDave 0 Posted December 2, 2006 (edited) Eric, That is just like me going all excited after a dive with some fellow rebreather types in shallow eel grass with us seeing razorfish...they thought the macro was boring and I was all amped.... Seeing one of those in an urchin and getting to video it would similarly be a highlight for me... Why divers wouldn't find such cool is beyond me....funny though, while they're thinking we don't get it, we think they don't get it....lol Edited December 2, 2006 by RebreatherDave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
