25 MAY - NIGHT DIVE
Marbled snake eel (Callechelys marmorata)
Cockatoo wasp fish - variation with both genders (Ablabys taenianotus) Once again, a Crocodile flathead Striped puffer (Arothron manilensis) A different flathead, the Broadhead flathead (Thysanophyrs arenicola) White margin stargazer (Uranoscopus sulphureus) (One of those Ten Dangerous Fishes to Avoid) The name stargazer comes from the fact the eyes are positioned on top of their heads. They are usually found buried in the sand with just their heads showing, waiting to ambush their unsuspecting prey as it swims past. Stargazers possess electric organs located in a specialized pouch behind the eyes and can discharge up to 50 volts, depending on the temperature of the water at the time. And another on that same list, the Reef stone fish (Synanceia verrucosa); mouth with teeth in the lower right part of the picture, tail is hidden in upper left corner. Blue-spotted ribbontail ray (Taeniura lymma)
