21.01.2022 A rarely seen Blotched Fantail Ray (Taeniurops meyeni) getting a frantic clean from several Common Cleanerfish (Labroides dimidiatus) at the Exmouth Navy Pier, Western Australia. This ray has venomous spines on its tail and is the species responsible for the tragic death of Steve Irwin in 2006 on the Great Barrier Reef. Although not generally considered aggressive, swimmers/divers should be extremely cautious around this species (and all stingrays). . . . .... . . #marinescience #nature #naturelover #naturephotography #ocean #natureshots #instanature #mothernature #reef #seacreatures #underwaterphoto #underwaterphotography #uwphoto #uwphotography #underwater #marine #science #naturelovers #ningaloo #exmouth #westernaustralia #exmouthnavypier #stingray #Taeniurops #Taeniuropsmeyeni #CommonCleanerfish #labroidesdimidiatus See more

19.01.2022 A good ID shot of a Halfband Cardinalfish (Apogon semiornatus) in Lighthouse Bay, North West Cape, Western Australia. This is an adult about 5-6cm long showing the large jaw/mouth, and the two dorsal fins showing clear separation. Apogonidae (cardinalfishes) is a large family of over 350 species of mostly nocturnal, small fish. Many male cardinalfish are mouth brooders they incubate, aerate and protect the eggs in their mouths and they do not feed until the eggs hatch .... . . . . . #marinescience #nature #naturelover #naturephotography #ocean #natureshots #instanature #mothernature #reef #seacreatures #underwaterphoto #underwaterphotography #uwphoto #uwphotography #underwater #marine #fish #science #naturelovers #ningaloo #exmouth #HalfbandCardinalfish #Apogon #Apogonsemiornatus #cardinalfish #lighthousebay #mouthbrooder See more

14.01.2022 A Sixband Parrotfish (Scarus frenatus) getting cleaned by Common Cleanerfish (Labroides dimidiatus) at Lavender Gardens, Coral Bay, Western Australia. Parrotfish have two sets of teeth the visible set, which is fused, and is where their name comes from (i.e. they look like parrot beaks); and a second set located deeper in their throats known as Pharyngeal Teeth. The pharyngeal teeth crush the food items (predominantly algae, but sometimes small invertebrates) that are scr...aped off the surface of coral and rocks by the primary beak. . . . . . . . #marinescience #nature #naturephotography #ocean #reef #sea #seacreatures #underwaterphoto #underwaterphotography #uwphoto #uwphotography #beautiful #love #cute #westernaustralia #scar #cleanerfish #parrotfish #coralbay #ningaloo #Labroides #scarus #scarusfrenatus

13.01.2022 A large Bumphead Parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum) at Rowley Shoals. This species is the largest of all known parrotfishes growing to 1.5m in length and 75kg in weight. They use the large, hardened bump on their heads to ram coral, breaking it into smaller pieces for eating this is an important part of bioerosion (or sand-making) with each individual consuming up to 5 tonnes of coral per year also resulting in the creation of tonnes of coral sand. Apart from coral, Bu...mpheads also feed on benthic algae and shellfish. We have seen several juveniles in Coral Bay over the years, but not adults. Friends in Exmouth have occasionally seen schools of adult along Ningaloo Reef . . . . . . #marinescience #nature #naturelover #naturephotography #ocean #natureshots #instanature #mothernature #reef #seacreatures #underwaterphoto #underwaterphotography #uwphoto #uwphotography #underwater #marine #fish #science #naturelovers #parrotfish #labridae #Bolbometopon #bumphead #scaridae #rowleyshoals #coralbay #ningaloo #exmouth See more

12.01.2022 Can anyone suggest a common name for this little crab we photographed at Mangrove Bay, Ningaloo Reef? At present it is only known by its scientific name Psaumis cavipes, which does give away many clues: Psaumis is Greek and refers to Psaumis of Camarina who was a famous charioteer and won the Olympic four-horse chariot race! It becomes clearer what the name means when we learn that Cavipes is Latin meaning Hollow Foot. . . . .... . . . #marinescience #nature #naturephotography #ocean #reef #sea #seacreatures #underwaterphoto #underwaterphotography #uwphoto #uwphotography #beautiful #love #cute #exmouth #ningaloo #westernaustralia #Mangrovebay #Psaumiscavipes #crab #decapod #crustacean See more

07.01.2022 Machine Gun Coral Shrimp (Coralliocaris graminea) at Oyster Stacks. Very common pistol shrimp with large eyes spaced widely apart. Usually dark green with fine stripes of white, black, red or blue. Its large flattened pincers can be larger than its body and like other snapping shrimps (Family Alpheidae), the pincer has an enlarged tooth and a special catch. When the catch is released, the tooth makes a loud snapping sound. . . . .... . . #marinescience #nature #naturelover #naturephotography #ocean #natureshots #instanature #mothernature #reef #seacreatures #underwaterphoto #underwaterphotography #uwphoto #uwphotography #underwater #marine #science #naturelovers #ningaloo #exmouth #westernaustralia #Oysters Stacks #MachineGunCoralShrimp #Coralliocarisgraminea #shrimp #alpheidae #snappingshrimp See more

These uncommon cowries only grow to 45mm in length and are recognisable by large irregular dark brown blotches on the shell, which has a base colour of lighter blue/grey/tan. The mantle (shell covering) is see-through and can be completely retracted into the shell for protection. . . . .... . . #marinescience #nature #naturephotography #ocean #reef #sea #seacreatures #underwaterphoto #underwaterphotography #uwphoto #uwphotography #beautiful #love #cute #exmouth #ningaloo #westernaustralia #bundegi #StolidCowrie #Bistolidastolida #cowry #cypraeidae See more
