- Hiding, camouflage & mimicry. Part 16 of my DVD, "Reef Life of the Andaman", available at www.bubblevision.com/marine-li... or view the whole 2-hour video at • Reef Life of the Andam...
In this video we look at how fishes and other marine life use different strategies for hiding themselves from both predators and prey.
First we see how the pastel tilefish, Hoplolatilus fronticinctus, hides by diving into enormous piles of rubble that it has built at dive sites in the depths of the Mergui Archipelago in Burma (Myanmar).
Then we look at how the dwarf whipray, Himantura walga, and bluespotted stingray, Neotrygon kuhlii, camouflage themselves under sand on the seabed at various locations in Thailand including the Similan Islands.
The day octopus, Octopous cyanea, shows us how it ejects ink as a decoy so it can make its escape.
Mimicry is a clever way that marine life hides its presence. We see how the straightstick pipefish, Trachyrhamphus longirostris, mimics sea whips to avoid detection, and how the ornate ghost pipefish, Solenostomus paradoxus, can change its body coloration and orientation to mimic its surroundings.
The giant frogfish, Antennarius commerson, is an ambush predator. They mimic sponges and their slender dorsal spine, the illicium, is waved around like a tiny fishing rod. Bypassers attracted to the lure at the end of the illicium are engulfed by the huge mouth in a fraction of a second. They are also known as anglerfish.
Scorpionfish and stonefish are also ambush predators. They blend in perfectly with their environment so they can pounce on their unsuspecting prey, but have venomous spines as an extra defence. We see a moray eel colliding with a stonefish at Thailand's Boonsung wreck.

I subscribetid a time ago to your videocanal, I would like to ask something I'm a great iguana lover. (I have 2 green iguanas at home) Would it be possible for you, to put some videos about marine iguanas, they are beautiful in the water and also very good divers. Thank you for sharing your scuba experiences with us. They are beautiful. thanks.
Hello bubble vision, can you please tell me where you have seen these tilefish (from 6th second) in Mergui Archipelago? I have been diving there since 2012 and have never seen this behaviour. Would be very interested to check it out myself. Thank you.
Hi. Strangely enough a BBC researcher was asking me about these fish last night for Blue Planet 3. The footage I saved is from South Twin, Black Rock & Little Torres, all shot prior to 2007. They were generally around 40m+ although you might be lucky and see some nearer to 30m. Definitely none shallower than 30m. I seem to recall that South Twin had the most and I have a note from a divemaster: "The point at South twin is after 1/3 of the northern side. You'll easily find the big bolder "stone-nose" shaping out. This is the point to jump". There is a subtitle track containing all the names of the dive sites and marine life.
got the music for the first part of this video? cant find it anywhere
It's "Pattern Errors" by Ty Sheers, a.k.a. "Coded". I think it was on Soundclick when I sourced it about 13 years ago but can't find it just now.
Kind of makes one wonder, do some of these animals even serve any purpose? Other than being weird.
All living organisms interact with eachother and help to sustain the ecosistem, the estrategies they use to survive have been shaped by the enviroment and its shifts, wich are greater than we give them credit for
ปลาอะไรน่าเกลียดน่ากลัวมาก😱😱😱😱😱
Thanks. And that would be great! If you let me know your email address, I'll send you a translation invitation through TH-cam's new automated system. You can send me a message on TH-cam, or an email to nick[AT]bubblevision[DOT]com
Kinda boring
