Are you curious to know what you can see on Lembeh Resort’s house reef? This video by our Photo Pro Sascha Janson starts off with beautiful aerial footage and then showcases wide-angle views of hard corals, thriving artificial reef structures, and resident damsel fishes. Of course Lembeh is famous for macro life and the house reef is full of tiny treasures, from Hairy Octopus, Bobtail Squid and the Lembeh Sea Dragon to rare, jewel-like nudibranchs and the quirky Twin-Spot Goby. Be sure to check it out the next time you’re here!

In addition to the Hairy Frogfish, Lembeh also boasts the Hairy Shrimp as part of its assortment of hairy residents. Hairy shrimp (also called Algae shrimp) also count as one of the tiniest critters in the Strait (like really really tiny! Really). They often move about resembling floating bits of algae in either brown, green, or yellow.
Here’s a small collection of the “hairy shrimp” (Phycocaris simulans). You will also be able to see that many of the individuals in this video have eggs. Also keep an eye out for one scene with two of them in one frame… enjoy!

The diving in Lembeh Strait was just unbelievable in 2013. Here are some of the highlights from the last year packed into a short video. Watch out for the rhinopias with an egg spiral on the cheek, the baby frogfish which catches a little shrimp, a bobbit worm grabbing a fish and a fangblenny showing its fearsome fangs….Enjoy!
