These are the eyes of a spearing mantis shrimp. Aren’t they amazing looking? I was really lucky she has let me come so close to her! The eyes are only 10mm in length which is 0.394 inch for my US friends! 😜 #scubadiving #underwater #photography by #DanielSasse #wildlife #marinelife

A closeup on the rhinophores of a Goniobranchus annulatus #nudibranch A rhinophore is one of a pair of chemosensory club-shaped, rod-shaped or ear-like structures which are the most prominent part of the external head anatomy in sea slugs. Rhinophores are scent or taste receptors, also known as chemosensory organs. The “scents” detected by rhinophores are chemicals dissolved in the sea water. The fine structure and hairs of the rhinophore provide a large surface area so that chemical detection is maximized. This allows the nudibranchs to stay close to their food source (for example species of sponges) and to find mates. They are primarily used for distance chemoreception and rheoreception.

A juvenile Fanbellied leatherjacket (Monacanthus chinensis) trying to hide by changing its color. This species grows to a total length of 40 centimetres. About 40% of the diet is animal matter, and this species is very dependent on encrusting organisms and the epiphytic algae and invertebrates present in a seagrass meadow.

Me cutting open an illegally set fishing cage inside the Marine National Park. On a scuba dive at the Marine national Park Phi Phi Islands we have found an illegally set Fishing Cage right on the reef edge. A Lot of fish have been trapped inside and it was attached with a big rope to a Coral, either by scuba or surface supply fishers! Fish cages are not allowed 3 nautical miles around the MN-Park Borders!

If we don’t start now our Actions will dictate our future, because each one of us can make a difference!
Together we can make a change!
Today is #WorldOceanDay Apart from depleting our oceans by over-fishing humans kill 100 Mil. Sharks per year, mostly for their fins.That’s around 3.6 sharks per second killed and only 0,94 born are born.We humans kill sharks more than 3 times faster than they can reproduce.We need the shark it’s a reef cleaner, it eats old and sick fish. If you would like to know more about sharks and our marine protection projects please visit http://poseidon-krabi.com/marine-life-protection-projects/This is a zebra shark (Stegostoma fasciatum) it is an Endangered species! Often mixed up with the Leopard Shark due to its Pattern. It’s called Zebra shark because as a juvenile it does have the black and white stripes of a zebra. This Zebra #Shark is 2,5m in length and is nocturnal laying on sandy patches and the seafloor during daytime. That u see one swimming during daytime is pure luck! The zebra shark is oviparous which means the female lays eggs. Taken by underwaterphotographer Daniel Sasse.
