Alex_Mustard 0 Posted June 13, 2008 There are a couple of these weird little guys in the Lembeh Strait at the moment. I id'ed it as Erosa erosa from the RK/HD Fish Atlas (page 107), while I was away. Not a fish I had seen before. Anyone know anything more about it? Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Abbott 0 Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) Yeah, this guy has showed its ugly face a few times in Lembeh, my buddy Bruce Moore has told me about this a few times now! It's apparently very rare and they don't see them too often. It's only when lucky photographers like Mr. Mustard show up that these are found... Have you came across any new nudibranchs while you've been there? Has there been many nudi's around? Edited June 13, 2008 by Graham Abbott Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex_Mustard 0 Posted June 14, 2008 Yeah, Herb, that definitely looks like the same species - yours is just a more saturated individual! I think the fish is slightly clearer in your photo - as mine was shot with a 40mm and dome. I think it was at one of the TK sites. Have you came across any new nudibranchs while you've been there? Has there been many nudi's around? Hi Graham, Yeah plenty of nudis. Although I resisted the temptation of plucking them off the reef and sticking them on a piece of white perspex, though. I enjoy photographing them - but I am not really a nudi-fancier, so I can't tell you if there were many real rarities. The dive guides did get excited about several. Lots of flatworms too. In comparison to my previous visits there were lots of octopus around - blue ring, wonderpus, mimic, coconut etc and lots of flambos. Plenty of froggies, although not many hairies. Ghost pipefish just coming in - including a nice pair of Halimedas at Nudi Retreat. I am off to the Red Sea today - so apologies if no replies for a week.
