Are you diving with the wonderful Ali? We never got to see a hairy frogfish while we were ther but Ali did find us a hairy octopus!

This is very cool but feel sad for the little guy, but that is nature I guess we all have to eat.

Matt: Interesting. I guess they’re all cannibals when the opportunity presents itself

Arne: I think it’s just luck. I’ve been here at many times of the year. Sometimes the critters are around. Sometimes they’re some place else.

You wish!
I’ve been bitten, eaten, devoured, digested (and later naturally excreted) quite many times, but keep being attracted by every type of lure…

May is a bad time to visit Lembeh. I was there. No Rhinopias, No Ambon frogfish, little pipefish. Now I have to go back one day. November and december are better months to visit Lembeh. @tony a colleague of mine spotted the hairy octopus last week. A very rare critter (anywhere), so you might want to check that out.

Nice to see the hairies are back again – when I was there in May there were only a few non-hairy juveniles!
Quite a few years ago when I was back in Sabah, the guys at Kapalai resort collected lots of algae so the guest could get a close-up view of sargussum frogfish. They must have had 10 or more sargassum frogfish in a huge aquarium tank with the sea weed. The plan was to leave them there overnight then release everything the next day. But come morning, there was just a single, very fat, sargussum frogfish left in the tank. I don’t think the resort ever tried that again…
