12.01.2022 Diagonal-banded Sweetlip (Plectorhinchus lineatus) Found singly or in schools during the day along coral slopes, out hunting for food at night over clearwater, shallow, protected open sand flats and seagrass beds of lagoons and seaward reefs. They feed nocturnally on benthic invertebrates.

11.01.2022 Queen Angel Fish Queen angelfish get their royal title from the speckled, blue-ringed black spot on their heads that resembles a crown. Decked out with electric blue bodies, blazing yellow tails, and light purple and orange highlights, Queen angels are among the most strikingly colorful of all reef fishes. Their adornments seem shockingly conspicuous, but they blend well when hiding amid the exotic reef colors.... They are shy fish, found either alone or often in pairs. Fairly large for reef-dwellers, they can grow up to 18 inches in length. They have rounded heads and small beak-like mouths, and, like other angelfish, their long upper and lower fins stream dramatically behind them.

05.01.2022 Whitetip reef Shark The Whitetip reef shark (Triaenodon obesus) is a species of requiem shark, in the family Carcharhinidae, and the only member of its genus. A small shark does not usually exceed 1.6 m (5.2 ft) in length, so this species is easily recognisable by its slender body and short but broad head, as well as tubular skin flaps beside the nostrils, oval eyes with vertical pupils, and white-tipped dorsal and caudal fins. During the day, Whitetip reef sharks spend much... of their time resting inside caves. Unlike other requiem sharks, which rely on ram ventilation and must constantly swim to breathe, this shark can pump water over its gills and lie still on the bottom. At night, whitetip reef sharks emerge to hunt bony fishes, crustaceans, and octopus in groups, their elongate bodies allowing them to force their way into crevices and holes to extract hidden prey. Individuals may stay within a particular area of the reef for months or years, frequently returning to the same shelter. This species is viviparous, in which the developing embryos are sustained by a placental connection to their mother. Whitetip reef sharks are rarely aggressive towards humans, though they may investigate swimmers closely

03.01.2022 Michaelmas and Upolu Cays is a national park in Queensland, Australia, 1,409 km northwest of Brisbane and 33 km east of Cairns. It comprises two small cays on Michaelmas Reef, which forms the north-eastern section of the Arlington reef complex, within the Great Barrier Reef.

03.01.2022 A group of happy people all ready to start their snorkel adventure at Michaelmas Cay with Seastar Cruises.

02.01.2022 One of the many striking, yet rather unusual looking inhabitants of the Great Barrier Reef is the Maori Wrasse. This bone headed bather contains two delightful features that don’t serve it well in the survival of the fittest. The Maori Wrasse serves to protect the environment, as it eats sea hares, boxfish, or the crown of thorns star fish that attacks the reef. The largest member of the family Labridae, this wrasse reaches up to six feet long in the male species, and up to ...three feet in females. Its unusual appearance consists of thick, fleshy lips, and a rather protruding lump that appears above its eyes that becomes more pronounced during the fish’s twilight years. The colours of the Maori Wrasse range from a bright electric blue, to a green purplish blue in the males and a red orange colour in juveniles and females.

01.01.2022 Pterois is a genus of venomous marine fish, commonly known as lionfish. Also called zebrafish, firefish, turkeyfish, tastyfish or butterfly-cod, it is characterized by conspicuous warning coloration with red, white, creamy, or black bands, showy pectoral fins, and venomous spiky fin rays.

01.01.2022 The brown booby is a large seabird of the booby family, Sulidae, of which it is perhaps the most common and widespread species. It has a pantropical range, which overlaps with that of other booby species. The gregarious brown booby commutes and forages at low height over inshore waters.

01.01.2022 Our first trip back to Michaelmas Cay 25 July 2020. Our bird lovers on board were happy to once again be able to photograph the bird life on the Cay.
