The
FISH Mystery is solved...

Carpet Eel
Blenny Dottyback!
Hi
Gunther,
the mystery is solved! I have identified the fish I photographed at
Donsol. A very reclusive, cryptic fish that is not seen very often.
It looks like an ell, but it's not. It looks like a blenny, but
it's not. What is it? Of course, it's the Carpet Eel Blenny
Dottyback! Dottyback? Aren't they the small cryptic reef fish that
often have amazingly brilliant colors? Yes, that's them and this
guy is the 'blacksheep' of the family. Not only is he very cryptic
in their morphology, but at up to 45cm long, they are easily the
largest. Well, another new one for me and happy to say that after
almost 20 years of exploring the world's oceans, I can still be so
easily entertained :)! ...and YOU are so right Lee

A NEW Website on PALAU Micronesia...bringing the Philippines and Micronesia closer? Travel News from the Pacific...
a very interesting NEW site which promise to be a huge source of information, I guess they still sorting out some issues but from what I have seen so far WOW.
If this site goes the way it looks already then what else do you need for your information on Palau and Micronesia.
The Philippine-Micronesia Alliance is keeping an eye on this one and we try to link up with them sooner than later.
Have a good browse, even it is not quiet finished but it is certainly very impressive.

With these addition we bring you a lot closer to this amazing part of the world, You dont get any closer to Nature...above and below the waves.
To some extend these islands are still unexplored in parts hence the recent discovery of some unusual inhabitants (see our last blog) the scientist are still debating who and where these small people came from. PalauTours.com is trying to keep you well informed from this part of the World, not only on leisure activities, but news on Marine life, Science projects, discoveries and of course environmental related issues.
