The mysterious and elusive

Wunderpus (Wunderpus photogenicus)

The Wunderpus is a mysterious critter, with ability to camouflage, making it hard to spot.  Definitely on every diver's bucket list!

The Enigmatic

Hairy Frogfish (Antennarius striatus)

The frogfish is often described as having a face that only its mother could love. This is one must-see creature of Lembeh.

The Protected Beauty

Coleman Shrimp (Periclimenes colemani)

Colorful shrimp species with red accented stripes, lives symbiotically on the venomous fire urchin.  Be careful when taking photos!

The Exuberant

Flamboyant Cuttlefish (Metasepia pfefferi)

It would almost always be changing colour constantly when observed, presumably due to it needing to display a warning sign to us divers.

Daddy is pregnant!

Pygmy Seahorse (Hippocampus bargibanti)

Well camouflaged within a gorgonian seafan, see if you can spot the pair, and the one with the pregnant stomach is the male!

Have you any wool?

Shaun the sheep (Costasiella kuroshimae)

This has to be one of the cutest critter, munching away on the algae on a leaf, gazing into infinity as we picked the leaf up and finding the slug!

The Highly Inventive

Coconut Octopus

This is one inventive creature – we have seen it in bottles, tin cans, bivalve shells, coconut shells, you name it, there is probably some coconut octopus living in it!

Well hidden

Golden Coral Goby (Paragobiodon xanthosoma)

Sporting a stunning golden-yellow coloration, the Golden Coral Goby is such a beauty!  It isdifficult to spot as they favor areas with plenty of corals and small crevices, and hard to photograph as the corals and small crevices present significant difficulties in lighting them!

Beautifully deadly

Blue-ringed Octopus (Hapalochlaena sp)

Extremely venomous, this is probably the most famous octopus of all.  Need to get close enough to let it pulsate, but not too close!
