Finishing up the last of my fish photos from when I was last in Bali. I really do need to get back there soon!

And while we’re bouncing back in time, let’s just bounce all the way back to 2020 and share the last few nudibranch photos from my time in Bali. I really need to plan a time to get back there, but with work denying working from…
Just some butterflies from the Bali archives today. Also, if you want, go back and check out the Swift Peacock Swallowtail post from a few years ago…
Pleurobranchs differ from Nudibranchs in that their gills tend to be on the right side of their bodies as opposed to towards the tail on their back. I’ve been able to find some Pleurobranchs both in Bali and in Florida, but I’m feeling lazy about…
I’ve dragged my feet on posting these for a long time… mainly because they’re not the greatest photos of a really awesome subject. I’d seen photos of the “Shaun the Sheep” nudibranchs in magazines and websites for a while and always wanted to find some…
Not even going to try IDing these… just enjoy the colors and shapes of these beautiful nudis from Bali.
Some photos of Leopard Nudis (Risbecia tryoni) from Bali…
Before frogfish became an almost common thing for me while diving at the Blue Heron Bridge, they were an extremely rare critter to find. During my various diving in Bali, we managed to find several different ones…
Just because who couldn’t use an octet of octos now and then? From Washington, Florida, and Bali…
Ok – technically this is not truly a nudibranch… but most people call all of these things nudis, so I’m being a bit flexible here. Anyway, I’ve recently been thinking about diving (pun intended) into my archives and sharing some photos that have not yet…
This little octopus was just peeking out of its burrow an made for a nice portrait…
Alright! Two easily identified species here. A Flagtail Shrimp Goby (Amblyeleotris yanoi) and its roommate a Randall’s Snapping Shrimp (Alpheus randalli)… both of which are beautifully colored and make me wish I could be back in those warm waters off a beach in Bali… I…
It has been quite a while since I’ve shared a spider photo… Again, as with all of these jumping spiders I found in Bali, I have zero idea what it is actually called, but I like the face on this one.
I remember this dive very well… The visibility was absolutely horrible. There were five of us, and we lost each other multiple times (once requiring a trip to the surface to regroup)… and we circled over the same patch a couple times trying to orient…
