Critter Wish List

[SubMariner]

Do you have a wish list of UW critters you'd like to see? Let's see 'em!

 

[gfisher4792]

First ones to come to mind are ocean sunfish and whale shark. I'm sure I'll think of a bunch more!

My list of underwater critters is pretty complete, but I am missing GWS and a whale.

The only other is a cealocanth. (sp?) I heard you can dive them north of Madagascar

Shrimp gobies and the shrimps that lives with them in a hole. Amazing relationship they have. And each goby species lives with only one species of shrimp. (there are several combinations in the Indo Pacific) Now, think about this. the shrimp lives a pelagic larvae life...not sure about the goby larvae...and the shrimp is blind, pretty much. How the heck do they find each other?

Oarfish... although I'd probably freak out and embolize.

 

[cdiver2]

Some of the things I have already seen (but could not get a good photo of) Mandarin fish, Mantis shrimp and some cleaner shrimp I saw in PNG that when you put your hand in the hole they wold come on your hand and clean it.

Sharks have become my passion, so my list on that is getting complete...

Stuff I wanna see, but haven't:
Whale Shark
BIG Manta

 

[SuPrBuGmAn]

Several still...

I've seen an Ocean Sunfish on the way back from a dive, but not while I was in the water - so I'd still like to encounter the MolaMola while UW

Whale Shark
Other Sharks - longer than the 2' shark I encountered on a beachdive...
Whales
Mantas
Eagle Rays
Manatee
Seals/SeaLions
Dolphins

Being able to get a good picture of em would be a plus...

Several others as well, but the ones listed here would be more of a priority.

The elusive trouser trout has always been hard to pin down and photograph for me. Sorry couldn't resist. I would like to photograph the prehistoric "Spoonbill Paddle Fish".

Hmmmm..... good question!

I would love to find all the nudis that are listed in the John Hoover book
I am really hoping to get a better view of a humpback - love hearing them
Anything different from what I usually see.
