It's the same. Just a matter or preference in the use of the common names. Although the use of the latin scientific names is always preferred by the scientists. But i guess in general divers will call them frog fish or froggies. :bsmilie:

Don't think it's normal although when mimics/wunderpus are stressed/chased they do go swimming. Seen that before. But normally they'll just be gliding along looking for a hole to slide into.
it was pretty amazing.. they (DM and friends) were signaling for me to go closer to look at something.. and at first i couldn't see anything.. then the DM waved his hand over the sand, and suddenly the mimic revealed itself. My regulator almost came out of my mouth from surprise :bsmilie:
A good sense when the DMs are going to search for mimics is that they'll bring the 'mimic poker'. An extra long poker to get the mimic/wunderpus out of their hole.
No leh, both times they found the mimic in the sand, and no mimic poker either :bsmilie:
Hmmm chance encounter. that's rare. Spotted a few on my own in lembeh and puri jati before. But don't have the patience to wait or the skill to 'coax' it out of the hole. :sweat:
yeah, both the one in Lembeh and in Minahasa were chance encounters, and both were not in the holes (or maybe it was dug up by time I got there!) :bsmilie:
lovely pics! i just came bk from manado too. stayed at cocotinos resort. haha highly recommended! i brought my g10 ikelite hsin there too. took some pics but lazy to post. hahaha! considering upgrading for my 50d but no moola! quick qn does your ikelite dslr casing "squeeze" as u go deeper n the position of the buttons shift a little? my g10 casin got that problem.. =(
hi, nope don't have this problem with my DSLR housing, and neither did I have this problem with my previous Ikelite G9 housing. At most, I hear some 'creaking' sounds as the housing adjusts to the pressure.
How deep are we talking about? If its within 'normal' depths, meaning anything above 40m or so, this shouldn't happen. Maybe take the housing back to whoever you bought it from and ask them to check it out
