Ornate Ghost Pipefish

At Torpedo in Horseshoe Bay (Rinca, Indonesia) we also spotted this beautiful Ornate Ghost Pipefish (Solenostomus paradoxus). He was more than 10 cm long. We produced a small sandstorm while watching it and i had to remove lots of backscatter afterwards.

Chromodoris leopardus

Although our Nudibranch book says that Chromodoris leopardus does not live around the small Sunda islands, we saw several of them. This picture was taken in a depth of 8 meters at Crinoid Canyon in Horseshoe Bay (Rinca, Indonesia), the nudibranch was 5 cm long
