This blog contains photos, mainly taken during diving around Perth and other parts of Western Australia, with occasional other locations thrown in. This header photograph was taken during a trip to Sipadan Island off the coast of Borneo. It shows a Grey Reef Shark disappearing into the gloom, which drops to around 600 metres deep - I was at around 30 metres!!

Banded Cleaner Shrimp
These shrimps live under ledges on the reefs and get their name from the red and white bands on their bodies and the fact that they clean parasites and dead tissue from the body and gills of larger fish.
Ok he creeps me out a little bit :oP
ReplyDeleteMe too, but could be handy if you had dirty gills.!
