I love how you have so many weird items this time. What was the thing on the starfish? Thanks so much for sharing.

amphirion · 03/31/2008, 02:04 PM

Wow, that's an amazing Cynarina and the nudribranch also is quite something. Thanks for sharing again those awesome pics!

Thanks for the comments guys.

Melev, i don't know what that critter is, some sort of polychaete worm is my best guess.

Time for some more photos:

I just went through hours viewing your amazing photos! They are so mesmerizing. One thing I noticed, I did not see any Aussie Acans. There's been a huge hype here in North America about them and people are paying hundreds of dollars for a polyp. Did you see any around? or are we being hoaxed, I wonder about this sometimes. If you did see any can you snap a few pix please. Thanks.

As it has already been said several times... Great thread. I love that you just continue to add to it.

One thing I noticed while skimming through the thread is that your photography has greatly improved. I read at some point that you added lighting which I'm sure has helped considerably.

Great job, I'll keep checking back for updates.

Reefman79 · 04/22/2008, 09:34 PM

OMG SOO COOL.

bs21 · 04/24/2008, 08:54 PM

WOW!!! I just read through this entire thread and am amazed. Your pictures are great thank you for sharing. The new picture quality with your new camera is also awsome. I really like some of the earlier pictures showing the whole reef structure especially there were a couple of isolated groups of corals/rocks what are they called bommies/patch reefs i think? Anyway great pics and keep 'em coming

seafansar · 04/30/2008, 11:18 PM

WOW! Maybe I should change my major to marine biology and move to Australia!

edr42 · 05/06/2008, 04:47 AM

Well, i'm now working in the dive industry, and have properly thrown in my lot and signed on to become a PADI Instructor.

Spent the last 2 weeks in the shop and out on the islands, and have some good photos to share

Stay tuned for the new pics!
