I've been diving in Lembeh from April 21 to 30, but didin't come across them. The week before we were diving in Bunaken where we found quite a lot. From Babies to real huge ones. If you take them out of the water it has to be very carefully as they spread out their eggs as a last reflex of survival. In Egypt I saw dive spots after such serious outbreaks and it was not nice to watch. Hi Tony,
