These shots show three different varieties from the Pufferfish family and all were taken at Sipadan Island off Sabah, formerly Borneo. The first is the Black Spotted Pufferfish which can vary in colour from grey to yellow and blue and all have dark lips. The second is the Map Pufferfish and the third is the White Spotted Pufferfish, which is at a cleaning station being 'serviced' by two Bicolour Cleanerfish.
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!!

Beautiful ... Councils learn from the accompanying text. So many fish species do not know. / Peter
ReplyDeleteAll three so different, like the eyes on the Black Spotted Puffer, not 'fishy' at all!
