  • An unusual nudibranch (Gymnodoris impudica) with only a single rhinophore in the center of its head, cyclops-style. The centralized position of the lone rhinophore suggests that the nudibranch was likely born this way, though it is impossible to be certain.

  • A small Hypselodoris infucata nudibranch perched on a ledge, looking almost as if it is staring across a gulf at a larger Hypselodoris infucata nudibranch in the background. Both nudibranchs were feeding as they moved along the muck substrate in Lembeh Strait.

  • Male long-spine porcupinefish (Diodon holocanthus) pursuing a female fish. This was the culmination of several hours of activity involving a number of males pursuing this female, until finally only one male was left. During the pursuit, the female swam at rapid speed in seemingly random directions, as if she were trying to lose the males. She hid in crevices at times, forcing the males to search for her. The males nipped and bit her constantly. The actual mating event took place well after sundown, with the fish swimming out to a deep part of the channel at about 23 meters, then rushing toward the surface, releasing eggs and sperm at about 12 meters depth.

  • Unidentified aeolid nudibranchs (Favorinus sp.) that appear to be feeding on eggs in a bubble-like egg case. The egg case may be that of a polychaete worm, or possibly a headshield slug of bubble snail (Cephalaspidea). See http://www.tonywublog.com/journal/aeolid-nudibranchs-eating-eggs-of-polychaete-worms for a discussion of this topic. Photographed in Lembeh Strait, Indonesia.
