Pipefish and Camoflaged Crabs

Ode to pipefish by the Captain Of Muck and Pirates in the Bay be found Ghostpipefish by the bushel abound Ornate, Robust swim around with glee All await a photograph from Me Garr ! ;-) Some of the decorator crabs in Mucky Pirates Bay are getting the art of camouflage down pat. And a teeny weeny blue suckered octopus make a house in a piece of discarded pipe. To give you an idea of size my proddy stick is marked off in inches. Cunningly disguised decorator crab Nr#1 Cunningly disguised decorator crab Nr#2 I'm tiny, you can't see me, now bugger off! One of many this season. Pairing up and pretty Robust (ghostpipefish)

Greetings all Michael and his wife Karin have been here the last week, diving and relaxing. Yesterday me and Michael sat down in front of the office computer and narrowed down 800+ photo's to some 169 usable. Michael then had the task of wittling down the photo's some more till we had 8 to chose from. Of which the final 5 were photoshop'd and put up here for all to see. Enjoy. Ornate Ghost Pipefish, Very Colourful. A Mantis Shrimp awaiting some prey. Not to close with that camera Michael or he'll have it. Love this one, the green shrimp on the feather star. Nice image. A Cuttlefish using sponge as camoflage. Another more colourful Mantis shrimp, so many varieties to photograph. And Up here in still sunny NW Bali, despite the best efforts of the rainy season, we have so many to find. Thanks Michael for sharing and I look forward to perhaps getting out diving with you an Karin next year. The Captain

More photo's from the brethren. This time from Harrie & Reit Wassen who were here over November. This nicely illuminated Ornate Ghost Pipefish enjoying the night dive. Whats left at Anchor wreck, Menjangan Island. A very colourful scene of coral and somewhere in there is an octopus. Transparent Cleanie shrimp on an anemone. Really nice picture of an Octopus taking a respite next to a plastic bag in Mucky Pirates Bay. Thanks for the photo's Harrie The Captain

Woke up and started the day with a dive and a photo. A couple of very accommodating Ornate Ghost Pipefish under the jetty in "Mucky Pirates Bay" Not a bad way to start your day. The Captain
