What Are You?

(Photos of Peacock Mantis Shrimp.) There are several types of mantis shrimp in the Lembeh Strait, and most are easy to see and not easily intimidated by divers. The so-called “peacock” or “harlequin” mantis shrimp is beautifully colored in brilliant blues, green, red, and orange.

Blue Rings

Close-up photos of a tiny blue-ringed octopus in the Lembeh Strait, together with the story of how our guide found it: My guide extended his (bare) finger and gently tapped on a small protuberance on the rock below us. The thing was no bigger than my thumb.

Pink and Purple

Underwater photo of a pink anemonefish in a purple anemone. The pink anemonefish is probably my favorite, and I haven’t before seen one in a bright purple anemone.
