Mating Mexichromis mariei in Bali, Indonesia
August 13, 2007
From: Paul Osmond
Hi Bill,
Found this pair of Mexichromis mariei mating in the rich ocean floor soil at the Tulamben Slopes dive site in Tulamben Bay in Bali, Indonesia.
Locality: Tulamben Slopes, 10m, Bali, Indonesia, 20 January 2007, Dark Soil, Muck Dive. Length: 30mm. Photographer: Paul T. Osmond.
One of the best dive sites in the world to find a variety of nudibranch species in the rich soil. I was diving with a 105mm macro lens with a +2 diopter and could have gone for more magnification for many of the specimens
Yours,
Paul
