$Helmut Gurnard or Oriental Flying Gurnard Dactyloptena orientalis occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific from the Red Sea and East Africa to the Hawaiian, Marquesan and Tuamoto Islands, north to southern Japan and the Ogasawara Islands, south to Australia and northern New Zealand in a depth range from 1 to 100m, max. length 40cm, common length 20cm. \n\nThe Flying Gurnard uses its pelvic fins to walk along the bottom of the ocean. \nThe solitary, well-camouflaged and slow-moving species inhabits coastal waters with sandy substrates and feeds on crustaceans, clams and small fish. \n\nThe pectoral fins are normally held against the body, but when threatened the fins are expanded to startle potential predators which may include sea breams and mackerel. A diver with huge camera system looks like a potential predator, reason enough to go on defense. \n\nLembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°28'8.9165 N 125°14'39.1048 E at 20m depth$

$Carpet Sole Liachirus melanospilos occurs in the tropical Indo-West Pacific from the Laccadives (Kerala, India) to Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, China, Taiwan and Japan in a depth range from 3 to 20m, max. standard length 15cm. \nThe spieces inhabits coastal sand slopes and estuaries. \n\nResearch has changed fundamentally in the last few decades. The mitogenome sequence from this species has been completely decoded. \nThis could contribute to a better understanding of the systematic evolution of Soleidae and Pleuronectiformes. \n\nThis specimen was encountered in the Lembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°29'32.881 N 125°14'12.8996 E at 15m depth by night$

$Plankton plays a vital role in marine ecosystems. Blackwater diving is an exhilarating underwater activity that takes place in the open ocean at night, offering a unique opportunity to photograph zooplankton and other pelagic creatures. The goal is to capture delicate creatures as they ascend from the deep in a nightly migration. Translucent, black and red parts of the body are invisible at night. \nThis is the larva of a Flowery Flounder Bothus mancus. The larva lives in the pelagic zone. Bothus mancus occurs throughout the Indo-Pacific region, adults inhabit sandy bottoms of coastal coral reefs, generally in shallow. The species hunts mostly at night, but also active during the day, feeding on fishes, crabs and shrimps. Max. length 51cm. \nIn adults, both eyes of this species are on the left side. This specimen's right eye did not migrate to the other side. \nThis larva of Peacock Flounder Bothus mancus was encountered in the Lembeh Strait, Indonesia\n1°28'51.636 N 125°14'37.95 E at 13m depth$
