A small goby sits patiently on a piece of whip coral on the Great Barrier Reef, in Queensland, Australia.
-
The amazing colours of corals often come from the green flourescent pigments in their tissues that are produced as natural sunscreens to help the coral to counteract the high UV raciation that they encounter in the shallow waters of the tropics. This gives the reef its incredible vibrancy and in this case offsets the red of the blenny.

The world famous cod hole, Ribbon Reefs Northern GBR Australia. This place provides a totally fantastic experience hanging out with enormous fish. The site regularly has potato cod more than 1.5m in length that are just as curious to see us as we are to see them. If you get a change to visit it’s not to be missed.

I was lucky enough to spend nearly an hour swimming alongside this juvenille green turtle (Chelonia mydas) on the fringing reef at Lady Elliott Island in the Southern part of the Great Barrier Reef. Lady Elliott is a beautiful island that is home to a wide variety of marine life and seabirds. Best of all the resort is reasonably priced fairly basic accommodation unlike most of the rest of the island resorts in the GBR. If you get the chance then Lady Elliott is well worth the trip. During my week long visit I would have seen more than >10 green turtles, hatchlings on the beach, sharks, rays, gourpers and a myriad of other reef fish. The coral reef on the other side of the island is spactacular with huge plate (Acropora sp.) corals everywhere. It is truly magic.

Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) are listed as endangered by the IUCN and CITES. Sadly these turtles are often accidentally caught in prawn trawling nets though thankfully turtle exclusion devices that allow the turtles to escape the net are now used in many parts of the world.

Orange Clownfish (Amphiprion percula) often live in association with sea anemones particularly Heteractis magnifica Amphiprion percula is often confused with the Ocellaris Clownfish, Common Clownfish or False Percula Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) which apparently ‘Nemo’ is based on. Juvenille clownfish use chemical cues released from the anemones to identify and locate the appropriate host species to use for shelter and protection. Telling the two apart is tricky as they have very similar markings: “Source: wikipedia”: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percula_Clownfish

The Maori Wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus) is a wrasse that is mainly found in coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific region. It is also known as the Humphead wrasse, Napoleon wrasse or Napoleonfish. Sadly the lips and eyes of these amazing fish are considered a highly prized delicacy in some parts of the world. In 1999 the lips alone of this fish were “worth $300 USD or more…..”: http://www.sheddaquarium.org/SEa/fact_sheets.cfm?id=77 Not surprisingly the high price has led to significant overfishing, resulting in their inclusion as Endangered on the “IUCN Red List”: http://www.iucnredlist.org/ The humphead wrasse is the largest living member of the family Labridae, with males reaching 6 feet (2 m) in length, while females rarely exceed about 3 feet (1 m). It has thick, fleshy lips and a hump that forms on its head above the eyes, becoming more prominent as the fish ages. Males range from a bright electric blue to green, a purplish blue, or a relatively dull blue/green. Some males grow very large, with one unconfirmed report of a Humphead Wrasse that was 7.75 feet (2.29 m) long and weighed 420 lbs (190.5 kg). (Source: wikipedia) “Napoleon’s lips push fish into WWF’s 10 most wanted species list”: http://www.wwf.org.uk/news/n_0000001338.asp The fearsome great-white shark and the Napoleon wrasse – a huge ugly fish whose lips are prized as a delicacy in Asia – top this year’s “WWF 10 Most Wanted” list of species most at risk from international trade. / The Napoleon wrasse, otherwise known as the humphead or Maori wrasse, is being so heavily over-fished for its lips and and eyes – which are eaten as a delicacy – as well as its flesh, that it faces being wiped-out in many areas if the trade is not controlled.

A pair of pipe fish get together to share some piping hot love on a recent dive trip up on the Great Barrier Reef. The red belly on the top fish indicates it is mating, or looking to mate. It was wonderful to find two of these little guys together at the same time. Nikon D200 / 105mm VR macro

I was down doing a fairly deep dive and came across this little cave with a beautiful coral cod inside. Not much light around in the cave, but my strobes lit up the colourful fish and back wall of the cave quite nicely.
