    the pair of fish were found on a night dive at around 18 metres.

  2. Some great critters you've got there...

     

    The top fish doesn't have a general common name, though I call it a Richardsons waspfish, it's Latin name is Richardsonichthys leucogaster.

     

    The nudi in the middle is a Nembrotha livingstonei, you may find it in other books as somehting different and you ma N. livingstonei looking very different in other books too!

     

    The 3rd nudi is a species of Marionia that has yet to be named!

     

    I've just spent some quality dive time with Terry Gosliner and his team on a collecting trip in Anilao. Terry and his team are some of one of the only experts on these animals that are actually doing serious research. look out for his new book coming soon...

  3. cheers for the info, great help
