Achilles Tang Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Let's just say that this was a REAL EYE-OPENER for me! I have NEVER SEEN as much marine species in one place anyway else in all my past dive locations! Sipadan truly deserves the reputation of being one of the MOST RECOMMENDED diving paradises! Here's my first ever Blue Ribbon Eel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Tang Posted October 31, 2003 Author Share Posted October 31, 2003 One of my favourite anthias - dispars!!! HUGE SCHOOLS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Tang Posted October 31, 2003 Author Share Posted October 31, 2003 The Dispar Anthia super-males were amazingly coloured!!!! Imagine this - yellow orangy bodied, pink heads, bright red dorsal fin with blue-lined tips, bluish pelvic fins.... AWESOME!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Tang Posted October 31, 2003 Author Share Posted October 31, 2003 Mingling with the school of dispars were lyretail anthias. The dispar supermales were busy pecking other males and other females as they maintained their hierarchy in the school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Tang Posted October 31, 2003 Author Share Posted October 31, 2003 The dispars were in the surf zone up on the reef crests, where a lot of surging water movements kept me very busy trying to stay still to capture these amazing creatures!
