Diving last weekend in Anilao was not the best, but I did manage to get out and spot things I have not seen there before. The first is this nudibranch - I have not seen this species before or any nudibranch standing up like this for an extended period. It was about 5 or 6 cm "tall" in this pose. I couldn't find it on Nudipixel. Anyone know the species?
My dive buddy (and wife) spotted this critter popping rhythmically every 5 seconds out of a tube on a Euphyllia ancora coral. I think it is a barnacle but would appreciate confirmation
Barnacle (?) in Euphyllia ancora coral
I did see one other thing I've been looking for for years - a stargazer! Of course that was exactly one minute after my strobe batterries died . . .
