Lembeh Species List & Underwater Gallery

Welcome to our Lembeh Underwater Gallery & Species Documentation! This is an ongoing visual record of all the marine life found at Lembeh! So far with 846 photographs, 21 films and 424 marine species documented, categorized and listed.

Lembeh holds one of the densest concentrations of marine biodiversity on Earth, much of it cryptic and easily missed. We maintain this gallery as an ongoing record of all the underwater life found at Lembeh, species by species.

This gallery is a continuously updated record of guest contributions to our underwater photography archive dating back to 2007. Every photograph is attributed to its photographer, identified to species where possible, and organized so visitors can browse by photographer, by date, species or by critter type.

With many thanks to our guests who contributed to the underwater gallery!

If you’d like to know how we organize our diving trips, please see our Homepage and Diving in Lembeh page

How to navigate this gallery

You can explore the gallery in five different ways:

— the slider randomly selects a photograph of every category, you can click on the photograph and it will jump to the photographer’s respective section. Upon reloading the page, new photos will be randomly selected.
— the gallery is organized by year and contributor, with the most recent photographers at the top. Use the year jump links within the photographers and videographers section to navigate to a specific year.
— each photographer has their own section listed in the table of contents. Click any name to jump to their photos.
— use the tag bar to view only photos in a specific critter category (e.g. Octopuses, Nudibranchs, Frogfishes). The number in each tag shows how many photos belong to that category. Click any tag to filter, click it again or press “Show All” to restore the full gallery.
— You can click on the “Confirmed species sighted” bar to expand the list, and view a list of all the species that has been photographed in this gallery. Click on a species to only see photos of said species.

Each photograph’s caption includes both the common name and the scientific (binomial) name. Where a photo features more than one species — such as a cleaning station or a mutualism between two animals — multiple species are identified, and the photo appears under multiple filter categories.

A small number of photos document behavior rather than a single critter — yawning frogfish, mating octopuses, cleaning stations, sheltering inside bottles. These appear under the Symbiosis & Behavior tag in addition to their species category.

Some animals here cannot be pinned to a described species. A few are genuinely undescribed — distinct and well known to divers, but never formally named — while others we could take only as far as genus or family. All carry an open sp. in place of a species name, and all appear together under the Unidentified & Undescribed tag in addition to their critter category. If you can identify one of them, or know of a formal description we have missed, we would be glad to hear from you!

Every identification in this gallery is made to the best of our knowledge, but Lembeh holds a great deal of life that is poorly documented, and some of it is not yet described at all. If you can put a name to something in our Unidentified & Undescribed category, or if you spotted an incorrect identification, then please let us know, we’d really appreciate it!

Corrections from visiting biologists, taxonomists and experienced photographers are welcome, and credited if you would like to be. I’ll update the page as soon as a change can be confirmed.

To help us find the right photograph quickly, please mention the photographer’s name and the caption as it currently reads — for example “Lèa Zhihui, Small Seahorse (Hippocampus sp.)”.

View other critter-focused species pages

The pages below focus on specific types of marine life! It functions comparably to a marine identification book, where everything is sorted in alphabetical order based on the scientific name of each species, containing both photos, films, and descriptions detailing their characteristics, habitats, quirks, and where we usually find them. The difference between the critter focused pages and this one; here everything is sorted based on the most recent sightings, and categorized into photographer/videographer sections, instead of having categorization related to species.
