At Kuda Miaru Thila this Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) swam right up to my buddy Italo and peered into his mask.  Italo removed his regulator and tried to kiss it.  Italians, eh?

There were lots of these gorgeous but damaging Crown-of-Thorns sea star (Acanthaster planci) at Kuda Miaru Thila.

The find of the trip for me.  A gorgeous Tritos Chromodoris nudibranch (Chromodoris tritos), about 4cm long, at Kuda Miaru Thila.  And there's a second one just a few centimetres away - you can just see it at the bottom left. They seem to prefer to be called Goniobranchus tritos nowadays.
