The Similans are a real paradise for those who love 'SMALL THINGS'.
Look for the next animals when your out there.
* black rayed goby * at 20-30 m on the sand at 'ANITA'S REEF' - Similan islands.
* purple fire goby * at around 30m at 'EAST OF EDEN' similans or at 30-40m on the sand at KOH BON 'THE RIDGE'.
* Ornate ghost pipefish * can be found abundant at 'RICHELIEU ROCK'. Look closely between the soft corals and near the whip corals.
* Tigertail seahorse * (Hippocampus Comes) is resident at the southwest side at 'RICHELIEU ROCK' between 25/30 m depth.
* Tomato clownfish * are abundant at 'RICHELIEU ROCK'.
* HYPSELODORIS ZEBRINA * is a nudibranch which I filmed on the 'BOONSUNG WRECK' near Taplamu ( world premiere - never filmed before )
* seagrass ghostpipefish * on occasion but also now again at 'TURTLE ROCK' - Similan islands.
