Indonesia, between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, has a diversity of marine life that
provides a wealth of photographic opportunity. I am breaking Indonesia into several
different galleries, depending on the type of animal or its habitat.
These were taken at Kungkungan Bay Resort in the North East corner of the island of
Sulawesi and have been picked as a sampling of the colorful and interesting species in
the area. Anenomefish (aka "Nemo") that shelter in the doormat sized sea anenomes
are always striking. The elusive and tiny (2 inch) Mandarinfish that come out at dusk,
just as the light is almost gone, provide a photographic challenge. As does the
incredible, almost invisible Pygmy Seahorse, 1/2 inch long and camouflaged to
match the sea fan it lives on.
