This site in Komodo was devastated by big waves in 2012. Just flattened with barely anything left alive. 12 years later and it looks fantastic! No reef restoration. No planting of coral frags. No NGO involvement. No stabilization. No campaigns. No mention of the destruction. No ‘gofundme’ sites. Nothing except leaving it alone to grow on its own and patience. Sometimes the hardest and best thing to do is to do nothing.

I’m heading back to Komodo in a few days, and this is one place I am definitely looking forward to snorkeling again, Tatawa! The walls and sea grass community are super nice, but give me the patch reefs on the shallow flats any day!

An indigo hamlet (Hypoplectrus indigo) in Belize. Hamlets are related to groupers and anthias but are restricted to the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. They are easily some of my favorite fishes in the Caribbean and might inspire a ‘hamlet hunt’ to find and photograph all 17 species ☺️!

Banded sea snakes (Laticauda colubrina) are common throughout the coral triangle, and I cannot remember ever being on a snorkeling trip and not seeing one at least once. While the possess a powerful venom, they use it only for capturing food, preferring to swim away from any signs of trouble.

Raja Ampat!

Juvenile ocellated parrotfish (Cetoscarus ocellatus) are found in a variety of shallow reef habitats. Unlike many of its parrotfish relatives, juveniles are often solitary and don’t associate with a school of other parrotfish. Rather than being a bit less colorful and blending in with similar fish in a group, its coloration may be a form of warning that helps protect it from predators. One thing is for sure, they are secretive and definitely shy.

The red-tooth triggerfish (Odonus niger) is a small, schooling, planktivorous reef fish that can be found along exposed, steep seaward reefs…and it really does have red teeth 🙂.

A marine betta, or comet in Sogod Bay, Philippines. These are exceedingly rare fish that are quite secretive and found in areas along rocky coastlines or crevices in reef habitats. With the large false eye and distinct coloration, it is thought they are mimicking a moray eel (white-spotted) and use the rouse to ambush smaller marine fish and invertebrates.

Nothing better on a reef than healthy, colorful coral colonies!

It seemed to have worked out nicely for these striped fangblennies!

In the coral triangle, juvenile mimic surgeonfish (Acanthurus pyroferus) mimic pearlscale angelfish (Centropyge vrolikii) so well that it's often hard to tell them apart! The model is on the left and the mimic on the right. Like all surgeonfishes, mimic surgeonfish lack the opercular (gill cover) spine that is present in all angelfishes (you can see it sticking out from the gill cover).

Marble shrimp are another example of the gaudy colors and patterns that many crustaceans possess. They dwell between shallow branching corals such as Porites or Acropora, or among rubble on reef flats or slopes. Though they are largely nocturnal, as snorkelers we have a chance to see them towards the late afternoon. But they are secretive and will withdrawal into the dark recesses of their dwelling at the first sign of movement for anything nearby. With a bit of patience and good eye, you might be rewarded with a sighting of these magnificent shrimp.
