Peacock Mantis Shrimp. Suckers can be mean & nasty so you don't get real close if you value your camera lense but the most beautiful of the mantis shrimp family.

Underside of giant black manta. Must have had 30-40 of them in one area. Guide & I were snorkeling ove to another area & came up on large rock bombe. Just as we reached it, a manta burst out from the other side. The guide screamed, I screamed, I do believe the manta screamed. Lots of sudden 90 degree turns. About the time our blood pressure came back down, another manta screamed over the bombe at us. We took a different route.

Great location if you are a fan of nudibranchs. This one reminded us of a dragon & was perfect since we were off to visit the real dragons the next day.

Will cover Komodo Island Dragons in another thread.
