The beach bures at Marlin Bay Resort were a lot more cushy than the ones on Namotu. A local man gave a great demonstartion on how to make a man's basket (women have their own version) that worked as a backpack or could be split open as a hand basket.
Tomato anemonefish fish hide in a sea anenome. Sometime small crabs and shrimp also make their home under the sea anenome.

The left and center photo are banded pipefish. Top right is a nudibranch. Background photo is an oyster. The purple in the lower right of the background image is a soft coral.
All three of these are nudibranchs. They come in a wide variety of shapes and vivid colors. Scott best described them as being designed by Peter Max.
More variations of the nudibranch. They vary in size from about 1/4" to 4 inches. These are all less than an inch long.
