Back at Wakatobi

I am back at Wakatobi Resort and have found a new family of pygmy seahorses which I will be observing.  The individual on the right is an amazing colour form of Denise's pygmy seahorse (Hippocampus denise) which I have never seen before. It was living alone on a site named Kollo Soha.

'Patterns of Diversity' Article in Sport Diving Magazine

My article entitled 'Patterns of Diversity' has been published in the new issue (129) of Sport Diving Magazine which is available throughout Australasia.  It explores the biodiversity of tropical reefs and the reasons for the patterns found across the world.  I find this subject fascinating and I hope you do too!

Lembeh Images Uploaded

I have posted images from a recently short trip to Lembeh.  Some highlights were a multitude of Ambon scorpionfish, an apparently undescribed nocturnal octopus, Lembeh velvetfish and a host of ghost pipefishes (Ornate, Robust, Delicate, and Rough Snout).  We stayed at NAD which was excellent in terms of accommodation, guides, food and price.
