Hey folks,
Where's a good place to post photos so that others can help identify the creatures in them? I have some nudis I'd like to have identified.

Might be. Thanks for the reply friend!
I believe my dive guide said Flying Gurnard. But that was 2 years ago so...

They're from the same order, different family, the sea robins and flying gurnards. But you pointed me in the direction, so thanks!

Haha. So do I. They're all nudis to me.
I should think that last fish is some sort of scorpionfish, which is vague since scorpionfish is the generic name of a family of fishes. What intrigues me is that it looks like it has some sort of coral growth on it, so I want to find out which species it belongs to. All the above can be viewed at my Flickr page in it's original quality. Manado 2006: un álbum de Flickr

ahh cool. i thought it was a specific fish, not a family.
When you said coral i was thinking, "ya, thats they're camo" but i relooked and i did see it. Perhaps its some sore of spawning thing? egg mass or something? santa costume? by the way, how is the picture oriented? itlooks like the sand is a wall behind the fish? or was the fish indeed sideways?

It was sideways. The rock on it's left is the coral it was blending with. The fish does have a very unique camouflage, doesn't it? I don't think it's eggs.
Silly me forgot to add the link to my Flickr in my previous post. It's there now.
