Robust Ghostpipefish

Almost 6 months since my last post, thought I’d better do something about it. I originally hoped to do a post every week, thought I had plenty of ideas, but found that it is actually quite hard to keep a blog going.
I’m just back from a week diving and relaxing at Cocotinos in Manado. After a couple of years diving elsewhere in Indonesia it was nice to be back there. The diving was a great mix of drifting in the current along the colourful walls of Bunaken and mucking about looking for interesting critters on the sandy slopes on the mainland side. On the last dive our guide Henki spotted this small Robust Ghostpipefish, Solenostomus cyanopterus. A nice way to finish a week’s diving.....
