I'm guessing taking coral from their is illegal w/o a license?

These places.............Cebu Island............Mactan Island.............Olango Island...........Bohol.............Balicasag.................are the Patria of Amphiprion thiellei....................

If you search for Stichodactyla mertensii...........maybe you will see Amphiprion thiellei..............

hi

Do you notice any heavy waves/turbulent water in the area where the gigs are?

I am just shocked that Minh has not commented on this thread.

Minh, are you feeling ok? You must be sick.

What do you think..........???

This anemone could be a gig.......that ressembles Haddons........???

I think that anemone is just a gig that is holding itself tightly.

Hi Phil..........your comments are highly valuable...............

I still have doubt about this ID...............

Maybe its a gig...........!!!

no turbulent water but a tow was noted while I was there snorkeling in the am, steady tow not turbulent, lots of mysis too and mantis shrimps, miniatures crawling all over the place pinkskunk. I agree that one of the reasons they are highlight due to where they are located at shallow water.

nice to see some other marine environments other than reefs, the focus of marine tanks is quite shifted versus the reality out there. i love seagrass beds and sandflats and lagoons.


thanks for the great pics! greetings martin

my pleasure Martin, was looking for mandarins but nowhere to be found. Instead I ran across the gigs which I have been most interested for the last year or two.

Hey you were up in my neighborhood. I bet your tired of seeing the color orange? hehe. Go Vols! Did you get to check out any of the lfs while there? Btw those are some awesome pics I'd love to get to do something like that one day.

This took place in cebu while I was leisurely swimming and starting swimming with the dolphins, just joking, school of baby pufferfish.

Thank you so much for posting the pics and video. So refreshing to see anemones in their natural habitat. Looks like there are lots of them too, which is comforting.
