False Clown Anemone Fish - we found Nemo. Actually they are not hard to find as they often live in the same Anemone due to building up a resistance to the anemone's stingers. This group had been in the same spot for a number of years I was told! Also, they are all born male but have the ability to change from male to female if the head female dies. 
Cuttlefish and Morganfish

Taking the plunge.Having only limited diving experience I cannot compare the experience with much but I was amazed at the variety of coral and fish encountered. Apparently the coral suffered a lot from the tsunami and in places is only beginning to re-establish itself. Also the practice of fishing with dynamite has devastated localised areas. This is now illegal but possibly difficult to monitor so who knows if it is still practiced?
