Linving in Bunaken Indonesia

It is a Jawfish.
They are a Mouth-Brooding type of fish. Nice find and photo!
Ace is spot-on.
I have seen pictures of the males with their mouths just jammed full of eggs. I read that they have to kind of shuffle the eggs around every so often to keep them all viable. Sounds like a pretty tough way to procreate.
By the way, nice picture.

I've seen photos of them with eggs in their mouths too.
Awesome Indonesia pics Raymond!
Hi!
My name is Lisa from the International Academy of Film and Television.
I am working towards a degree in photography at IAFT. I wish to learn the processes in film production, hone my storytelling skills and be able to work with dynamic, creative individuals.
Ok here's another one. I took this off the coast of Los Angeles in about 50ft or so just a few days ago. I haven't been able to find a pic with this same color in the dive book that I have.
Hi Lisa.
Are you in the Philippines?
Looks like a Type of Tunicate to me. It looks like it has one opening on the top and a jelly like body or could even be more like a sponge type body? I would have to inspect it, but there are a lot of Tunicates around the world!
yea it probably is a tunicate after looking through a few more pics online I found a simular one. Thanks
Hi..yes, I am in the Philippines right now.
Windy, not sure you can do that in the Philippines? You will need to learn as much as possible where your at and then you will have to intern with a professional or two where you will learn to put your skills into the real world. You will have to be able to travel and usually pay your own way! The budgets in this business are microscopic at best! The artistic and a static rewards are great and you get to work with some great people! Do you have any specific questions about the industry, the work, or skills needed? Your question is a bite non-specific?
