Nice pix, thanx for posting them and also for the detailed trip report!!

The "grazing cow" is a Chromodoris willani.

The second unnamed nudibranch is a Glossodoris I think, but I don't know the sp. Hopefully someone else will ID it for us.

Glad you were able to see the mimic octopus. That was one of the creatures I really wanted to see on my trip. Sadly, no one on our boat at KBR saw the mimic during our stay at the end of August.

Nice pics.

Oh, I envy you the mimic octopus! We saw other octopuses, but not one of those. We didn't see the Bobbitt worm, either. But the other pictures brought back great memories!

We couldn’t' tease the mimic out of it's den. So cool you were able to see it! Loved the coconut octopus and the Harlequin pipe fish.

Thanks for bring back great memories of Lembeh!

Wow, great shot of a Bobbitt worm. We were very excited to see one when we were there, but couldn't lure it out of its hole.
