Mucky Secrets - The Marine Creatures of the Lembeh Strait - Series

Great stuff!

Thanks Alison

Here's part 6, in which we look at carfinalfishes, including the pretty Banggai cardinalfish. It's a species that appears to be thriving since it was introduced to the strait, but is still endangered due to the ornamental fish trade. We also witness a poor frostfin cardinalfish meeting a grisly end when it is targeted by a trumpetfish.

Gripping viewing!

Part 7, which features seahorses including the pygmy seahorse, pipefishes, ghost pipefishes and shrimpfishes.

So good Nick!

Looking forward to seeing your future work. Hopefully not a 6 year wait;)

Thanks mate. Actually 6 years would be an improvement!

This is an awesome series! Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks nihal!

This week's part 8 kicks off with a pair of short dragonfish, a type of seamoth. I then look at oriental flying gurnards, with their huge "wings", followed by a quick look at a couple of Lembeh's blennies including the hairtail blenny. Finally we encounter gobies, including a pair of yellow pygmy gobies living in a discarded bottle, and a toothy goby living on a sea pen.

Part 9, which features mating mandarinfish and other dragonets.

Thanks, I'm really enjoying this whole series. Very well done.

It's better than GOT

GOT?

edit: Ah, Game Of Thrones. I've heard of that. No idea what it is though.

Part 10, which features Lembeh's frogfishes.

Part 11 looks at Lembeh's juvenile fishes and their transformation to radically different adults. Features parrotfish, sweetlips, razorfish and filefish.

Sorry to fall behind. Here is part 12, which features Lembeh's boxfishes, puffers & porcupinefishes.

Part 13, which features a young panther grouper, and then a variety of benthic fishes: stargazers, flounders and flatheads.

Part 14, in which we meet a variety of scorpionfish and lionfish, including the spectacular fishes of the Rhinopias genus, considered by many to be the holy grail of muck diving finds (but to be fair, it's probably now been supplanted for many by the psychedelic frogfish ).

Very nice documentary !

Part 15, which features more camouflaged, bottom-dwelling fishes with a nasty sting: demon stingers and waspfishes.
