Banded Snake Eel Myrichthys colubrinus has alternating black and white (sometimes pale yellow) bands running the full length of its body - a kind of Batesian mimicry based on a strong likeness to those seen in the venomous banded sea krait. #scubadiving private-scuba.com/sea-life/marin…

All phantom sharks tend to be bottom dwellers that thrive best on continental slopes. They use their tooth plates to crush benthic invertebrates and small fishes.

The stings from Tamoya ohboya have yet to confirm any human fatalities. However, their close relative the Australian box jellyfish (chironex fleckeri) are deadly!

#Bonaire #Banded #Box #Jellyfish First described in 2011, Tamoya ohboyame actually originated from the response of "Oh boy" given by scuba divers who had seen the results of its painful sting - usually during night dives. #scubadiving More here: private-scuba.com/sea-life/marin…

Flathead fish spines contain venom, especially on the dorsal fin and gill covers, but it's less potent than scorpionfish and unlikely to cause severe injury.

Facts about Flatheads One reason why these bottom-dwelling, ambush-predatory fishes are favourites with scuba divers is because they blend in with the sand and rubble surroundings. #scubadiving #flatheads #crocodilefish private-scuba.com/sea-life/marin…

After fertilisation, the male gathers up the eggs and gently stores them inside his mouth. He produces mucous threads that keep them stuck together until they hatch a few weeks later.

The Blue-spotted Jawfish Describing small marine fish as "fun" and "charismatic" is slightly unusual. Yet, if you're keeping #jawfish as pets in an #aquarium you'll see that's exactly how they behave. #scubadiving #snorkeling private-scuba.com/sea-life/marin…

There are no reports of attacks on humans, but they are capable of 'hunching' their back and lowering their caudal fin (agonistic behaviour) if they feel threatened.
