SHOT LIST:
0:00
Manta ray (
Manta alfredi) approaching and passing overhead
0:08
Exposed reef dominated by
Fire coral (
Millepora sp.)
0:15 Flounder (Bothus sp.) follows Kuhls stingray (
Neotrygon kuhlii) as the ray feeds and disturbs the sand
0:26
Clark's anemonefish (
Amphiprion clarkii) in
Heteractis crispa anemone
0:37 Spotted shrimpgoby (
Amblyeleotris guttata) keeps lookout and displays to intruders as shrimp (Alpheus ochrostriatus) do the heavy lifting of burrow maintenance; shrimp maintain antennae contact with the shrimpgoby at all times
0:59
Glossodoris electra nudibranch charging across the sand
1:03
Target shrimpgobies (
Cryptocentrus strigilliceps) prefer the silty sand habitat found in protected caverns and overhangs
1:06 Lionfish (
Pterois volitans) stalks then eats something on the sand
1:10 Clownfish (
Amphiprion percula) tending their eggs
1:18
Pink anemonefish (
Amphiprion perideraion) in an
Heteractis magnifica anemone form large family groups
1:22 "
Plucked Chicken" pygmy seahorse (
Hippocampus denise) looking around for grub
1:29 Red-margin shrimpgoby (
Amblyeleotris rubrimarginata) displaying to intruders on sea grass slope; shrimp (
Alpheus bellulus) housekeeping, and Dugong grass (
Halophila ovalis) showing heavy epiphyte growth
1:40
Pair of Decorated dartfish (
Nemateleotris decora)
1:45
Segmented blenny (
Salarias segmentatus) chased away by angry damsel
1:51 Porcupinefish (
Diodon hystrix) love train
1:55
Manta rays (Manta alfredi) feeding at the upwelling in a ripping current
2:02
Bigeye trevally (
Caranx sexfasciatus) and Scad
2:06 Bigeye trevally (Caranx sexfasciatus)
2:10
Chevron barracuda (
Sphyraena qenie) circling,
Vlaming's unicornfish (
Naso vlamingii) waiting below
2:14
Titan triggerfish (
Balistoides viridescens) breaking off and moving rubble,
Checkerboard wrasse (
Halichoeres hortulanus) hoping for scraps
2:30 Flatworm obliviously swimming toward a
Java moray (
Gymnothorax javanicus), passes without trouble
2:46 The convoluted growth form of the
Barrel sponge (
Xestospongia testudinaria) offers a range of nooks and crannies for invertebrates and their hunters—such as this juvenile
Canary wrasse (
Halichoeres chrysus)
2:41 Isolated
Staghorn coral colonies like this one often host dense cardinalfish and damselfish populations; during the day, damsels feed up in the water column above while cardinals rest in safety, at night the positions reverse
2:46
Japan armina cruising the black sand looking for sea pens to eat
2:54 Twinspot gobies (
Signigobius biocellatus) filter mouthfuls of sand in a small territory, usually under a ledge or shear face, and maintain their own underground escape tunnels
3:16 Trimma gobies have tiny territories that they defend aggressively; this is a good spot for ambushing passing plankton. This particular species is not yet described, but referred to as "RW sp.70"
3:20 These Lizardfish (Synodus sp.) were vibrating and slowly changing colours at dusk
3:08
Tiny juvenile
Star puffer hiding from a strong current behind a small rock
3:23
Broadclub cuttlefish (
Sepia latimanus) are a common reef species
3:26 This male
Mimic cardinalfish (Cheilodipterus parazonatus) broods a mouthful of eggs that he needs to aerate
3:20 Eyespot blenny—my blenny of the week—typically predictable, easy to shoot, and entertaining to watch
3:30 Crinoid clingfish (Discotrema monogrammum) make a home in the arms of crinoids
3:38 Caverns and cracks in walls are always occupied by various species of Soldierfish (Holocentridae), joined here by Gold-lined sea bream (
Gnathodentex aureolineatus)
3:41 Fusiliers are found at the leading edge of every coral reef
3:46 This brand-spanking new tuna boat sank perfectly vertically after being dragged off the reef in a disastrous salvage attempt; it makes for an unusual and disorientating dive site
