10th December 2006

weather: sunny
sea condition: calm vis: 15 m

Guides: Jay, Ron, Allan, Lee

If anyone of you Paradise-Loggers out there are expecting to see hammerhead sharks again for this update of Paradise-Log, we're sorry to say that our luck was not as good as this Tuesday ( 5th Dec). But Sipadan has not been disappointing to us, we still have the school of barracudas and grey reefs.

Well, as for macro, Mabul has been very rewarding this last couple of days with pygmy seahorse, pygmy pipefish, flamboyant cuttlefish, jawfish with eggs and frogfish. But we still cant find back the harlequin shrimp that we found last week. Too bad!!!!

The pictures for today was provided by Songpol from Thailand. All of them are just awesome pictures!! To see more of his pictures you can go to his website www.nice12.net

Asther, it's not a seahorse, it's a pipehorse. You can see them even in Paradise 1. But mostly they are black colour. Cheers

I see I see... Initially the photo was labelled pygmy, mar, so I tot it's really a pygmy seahorse & got all excited cos never seen that species before. Hehehe...

Anyway... I never seen the pygmy "pipehorse" neither. ;P Do you have its scientific name? Hope next time I can find this species when I return to SWV.

Cheers!

Asther, the common name for the pipehorse is 'Short-pouch Pygmy Pipehorse' and the scientific name is Acentronura breviperula
