hloc SG Know what you mean..... but then ppl can't see the photos already. sorry lah. perfer this way. Sorry again.
hloc SG More pics Big Reef Cuttlefish. This is the biggest i saw so far. A good 40cm from tail to tail. Sotong is hard to be spotted around here. And Sotong won't hold still when you take photo. So.... cuttlefish is better A school of unknown fish..... bout 30cm long.... Another Moray Eel..... i think it is a Giant Moray. hard to say as most of the body is hidden. But Giant Moray is very common around here. Small Jellyfish near the bottom.... Ok... more pics later.....
