Komodo National Park trip dive 22: “Pink Beach” round 2 (critter section; 2015-1-24)

Dive site notes: Virtually no corals, just a sandy slope with all manner of cool critters. Saw plenty of upside-down jellyfish, one of which was bouncing down the slope. Very calm, 25ºC, 10-m viz. Saw two beautiful pipefish, one of which was disguised as algae. First remora of trip. Dogtooth tuna. In 2-4 m, there were some corals, including an impressive Porites bommie and some Acropora and Galaxea. Flounder. Crab wearing a sponge that was too big for it. The few Seriatopora caliendrum seen were sickly looking.
