is one of those california species that is not seen in years , and then someone comes across a population explosion . this has occurred this year in the san diego and channel islands .
this strange little mouse - like dorid is easily identified by the irregular ridge down the midline and the three large extrabranchial lobes anterior to the gill . the fuzzy appearance of the dorsum is produced by caryophyllidia ( tubercles with protruding spicules ) .
s . it has been documented only from monterey bay south to ensenada , mexico . it has been collected in scripps canyon , san diego at 120 feet ( jim lance , pers . comm . ) .
has been found on the steep cliffs of arbolitos , punta banda , south of ensenada , mexico . the walls are brilliantly covered with numerous invertebrates , especially the bright orange cup coral
the in situ picture of a 38 mm long animal was taken at 45 feet depth , 2 december 1984 . i have not seen it since in my southern california / northwestern baja california water diving . as dave noted , this rare species ranges from the intertidal to 120 feet deep .
, illustrating its distinctive features , especially the lobes protruding posteriorly over the gills .
is the typical dorid sponge - eating shape , with smooth , curved hamate cusps . terry gosliner and i described the

this family don ' t belong to the family of scorpionfishes but waspfishes look very similar to some of them , specially to the leaffish ( some ichtyologists place them in the family of scorpionfishes , some don ' t ) . the family of waspfishes contains about 11 genera , like ablabys , paracentropogon and richardsonichthys . the dorsal fin of the waspfishes originates above the eyes . they are laterally compressed and look like a leaf . most of these waspfishes occur on or near coastal reefs .
wasp or leaf ? ! i just bought 2 of these sold to me as leaf fish do you know for sure if this is a deadly venomous species or just venomous i am not allergic to stings but i don ' t think that i would like to tempt death just to have a cool fish , thanks ryan p . s . someone also tried to sell me this fish as a leaf fish is this true or is this a waspfish ? < these pix are of ablabys taenionotus . . . a waspfish , and venomous , yes , but not very dangerous . the species is very slow moving . . . and not

the cockatoo waspfish is usually observed at dusk and on night dives as they stay hidden during daylight hours . they are usually observed on sand in the vacinity of rocky reefs and sea grass beds feeding on small shrimps and other crustaceans .
the cockatoo waspfish can be recognised by its long sail - like dorsal fin which originates above the eyes .
the fish is usually brown with a distinct white stripe along the leading edge of the dorsal fin and down the snout to the upper jaw . adults may have a scribbled pattern of dark lines and blotches on the dorsal fin .
the species occurs in tropical and some temperate waters of the eastern indian and western pacific oceans .
in australia it is known from the central coast of western australia , around the tropical north of the country and south to the new south wales central coast .
the map below shows the australian distribution of the species based on public sightings and specimens in australian museums . source : atlas of living australia .
it is a benthic species that is found on coral reefs and in sheltered estuaries and bays down to depths of about 20 m .
even though they are quite small in size , the species is sonsidered dangerous to humans to to their venomous spines .

this species is highly venomous and this venom can , under certain circumstances , be fatal .
in case of poisoning , it is vital to have as much information as possible regarding the species / poison . have telephone number for the poison hotline close to the aquarium . since people can have different reactions to poisons , take precautions necessary to ensure your safety and that of your surroundings .
this species may eat small fish and especially small shrimps , there are , however , some aquarists who manage to get them to coexist just fine .
this species survives on bottom dwelling invertebrates and will not normally eat food that is not alive .
be prepared to feed with small live shrimp , for example , for a long time . do be aware that food competitors do not reach the food first .
this species is very shy and docile , so one should be careful when keeping it with more aggressive fish .
waspfish ( tetrarogidae ) are typically found lying on the bottom , imitating algae or bits of debris . some even have algae growing on them which means that algae eating fish can cause injury .
they feed mainly on small bottom dwelling crustaceans . they might try to catch fish but are not particularly adept at catching them . it is by no means certain they can get used to frozen foods , but one might be successful over time .
waspfish are not particularly fast and therefore cannot compete for food with faster swimming fish and consequently will not do well . they do not normally pose a threat towards other animals in an aquarium , it is only small crustaceans and very small fish they will prey on .
they have very poisonous spines on their back and this , combined with their habit of camouflaging makes them dangerous when having bare hands in the tank . take special care not to damage their spines when they need catching .

the namie’s frog ( limnonectes namiyei ) is an endangered species found only in northern okinawa . it is currently listed threatened on the iucn red list of endangered species . this amphibian is decreasing in numbers due to deforestation and the use of pesticides .
photographed on white for the meet your neighbours global biodiversity project . all images are used for conservation awareness and educational purposes .
the black - faced spoonbill ( platalea minor ) is a common winter visitor in southern okinawa . the spoonbill is currently endangered and has an estimated population of less than 3000 . it’s biggest treats are habitat loss , pollution and pesticides . the black - faced spoonbill is currently listed critically endangered on the iucn red list of threatened species .
out of all the birds at the mudflats , the spoonbills are the most consistent hunters . they rest most of the day , but when its time to fish they always catch one fairly quickly .
wide - angle macro photography is popular with wildlife photographers . the technique allows the photographer to document the animal in its natural habitat and show the full scene it lives in . the photographs have great impact and deliver a bug eye perspective using a wide angle lens . i generally use off camera flash with a custom soft box to make these photographs . lately i have been testing a variety of on camera flashes to achieve a different perspective . one of the biggest challenges is lighting the subject evenly with soft diffused lighting .
here are some of my favorite wide - angle macro images photographed in okinawa - japan .

this lizard is decreasing in numbers due to poaching , deforestation , and the threat of feral cats . the lizard is high valued in the illegal pet trade market and needs to protected . this is one of my favorite reptiles to photograph on my night adventures in okinawa .
this is the first ground gecko i photographed in 2010 . i found it under a piece of carpet in onna village . illegal dumping is a huge problem in okinawa .
when they feel threatened they will stand up on all fours and try to intimate you with a stare down .
when i approached this ground gecko it stayed in place . i found three mosquitoes sucking the blood right out of it . the first time i observed mosquitoes on a lizard .
the ryukyu black - breasted leaf turtle ( geoemyda japonica ) is an endangered species found in northern okinawa . this turtle is decreasing in numbers due to poaching , deforestation and road kill . the turtle is highly valued in the pet trade market and needs to be protected . it has been designated as a national natural monument of japan and is currently on the iucn red species list as endangered .
you can see why they named it the black - breasted leaf turtle . we helped this turtle get off of the road and placed it safely back into the forest .
take a close look , yes those are turtle ticks . photographed august 9th , 2014
i usually find the ryukyu black - breasted leaf turtle crossing the road at night or early in the morning .
all the roads in northern okinawa have specialized wildlife steps for the the animals that get trapped in the drainage ditch . these steps allow the turtles and other animals to crawl out safely using the steps .
the truth is i have seen more of these turtles dead than alive . watch your speed !
i was nominated by martin bailey to participate in the 5 day black & white challenge . i had to post one black & white image each day while challenging another photographer to do the same . it was difficult to find subjects that really popped out in b & w . below are the five images i posted during this challenge . all images were taken underwater on scuba in the beautiful waters of okinawa .
crabs with beach trash homes is a series i am currently working on . i photograph blueberry hermit crabs ( coenobita purpureus ) that have begun to use beach trash as their home
. the crabs are photographed in their natural environment and also on white for the meet your neighbours global biodiversity project . the images are used for environmental awareness and educational purposes .
blueberry hermit crabs are commonly found on local beaches in okinawa . most crabs are blue but occasionally have color variations of purple , pink , orange and or gray . they prefer to have a seashell as a protective home but when no shell is available they adapt .
before plastic caps filled our shorelines , hermit crabs adapted using tree nuts if no shells were available .
it’s becoming more common to find crabs with beach trash homes . i have friends combing local beaches in search of more crabs for my series . while these are cute images , our trash is becoming a serious problem to the ocean and the animals that call the shoreline home . i often find hermit crabs using a variety of plastic caps from twist top pet bottles , laundry detergent containers , small propane tanks , sports water bottles and beauty supplies .
limited number of available shells causing them to make due with the best homes they can find . this is a good example of adaptive behavior .
hermit crabs are very social animals and often fight over shells . having a protective lightweight shell that covers the abdomen ( soft parts of the animal ) is crucial for survival .
hermit crabs are scavengers and take advantage of any food washed ashore . they mainly feed on dead fish , barnacles , other crabs , algae , insects , plants , fruit and various seeds . the screw pine ( pandanus odifer ) is one of their favorite foods . i imagine long ago these vital plants lined our shorelines in abundance . numbers are decreasing due to deforestation .
the hermit crabs feed on the the fresh keys and help with seed dispersal . they both benefit in this relationship . the pandanus tree provides shelter , shade , food for the hermit crabs .
eventually the keys dry , turn brown and litter the local beaches . the dispersed keys provide a perfect environment for hermit crabs to blend in with .
hermit crabs prefer to be in a shell that protects the entire body from predators . sometimes they have to temporarily adapt with a much smaller shell . the retracted hermit crab tightens up to protect itself . ball up , play dead and blend into the environment , minimizing the risk of being preyed upon .
it resembles ( mimics ) the shape of the screw pine seed to possibly avoid detection from potential predators .
hermit crabs have the ability to ball up tight to protect their eyes . ( transformers )
below are some of my favorite images photographed on a portable field studio board ( myn technique ) . the crabs are safely placed on a white studio board , photographed and released back into the natural environment ( myn technique ) .
it’s important to photograph the hermit crabs in their natural habitat . i prefer to photograph them using a wide angle lens to achieve a unique perspective .
i also photograph the hermit crabs using a dedicated macro lens . i mainly use the canon 60 mm or 100 mm macro lens to concentrate on the subject . these crabs are fairly small and it’s important to have a lens that will focus close and deliver high quality sharpness .
school project ” crabs with beach trash homes ” my family and i collected trash on a local beach in onna village . this is just a small portion of our beach trash findings . the kids did a great job creating a project with impact .
behind the scenes photograph ” crabs with beach trash homes ” i have documented over sixty crabs with beach trash homes . if you would like to see more images check out my flickr account .
june 10th 2010 was my first experience seeing a hermit crab with a trash home .

scorpionfishes have large , heavily ridged and spined heads . venomous spines on their back and fins with a groove and venom sack . well camouflaged with tassels , warts and colored specks . some scorpionfishes can change their color to better match their surroundings . the stonefish is a master of disguise and deception , it looks like a piece of coral or sand covered rock . thus he can blend in with its surroundings and go unnoticed by its prey .
most scorpion fishes live on or near the bottom . they lie in crevices , in caves and under overhangs . range : red sea , pacific ocean to australia , hawaii . a few scorpionfishes ( no lionfishes or stonefishes ) live in the caribbean .
they feed on crustaceans , cephalopods and fishes employing a lie - in - wait strategy , remaining stationary and snapping prey that comes near . with their mouth they create a vacuum and suck prey in during a nearly imperceptible split - second movement ( 15 milliseconds ) .
some have algae and hydroid growth on their body surfaces ( stonefish ) and at least one species ( decoy scorpionfish iracundus signifier ) has a dorsal fin that looks like a swimming fish , a behavior similar to that of the frogfish . some species ( for example the weed scorpionfish ) sway their bodies from side to side so they look like a piece of debris .
scorpionfishes are not aggressive , but if threatened they will erect their dorsal spines . if danger continues they flee , usually very fast but only for a short distance and then quickly settle back and freeze . the stonefishes for example ususally bury themselves in sand or rubble using a shoveling motion of their pectoral fins . in a matter of less than 10 seconds only the dorsal portion of the head remains exposed , some sand is thrown on top to further enhancing concealment . some species like the devilfish have very bright red and yellow colors on the inner surface of their pectoral fins . those colors are not visible when resting but are flashed if threatened .
scorpion fishes produce a floating , gelatinous mass in which the eggs are embedded .
scorpionfishes have a reddish to brownish color and are mottled . this enables them to disappear against the substrate .
scorpaenopsis there are 4 very similar species of humpback scorpionfishes . scorpaenopsis diabolus ( devil scorpionfish - pectoral fin with orange , yellow and white ) and scorpaenopsis macrochir ( flasher scorpionfish - pectoral fin with orange and some black at the edge ) can best be told apart by looking at their pectoral fins . the devil scorpionfish also has a more pronounced hump and is larger ( up to 30cm ) than the flasher scorpionfish ( 15cm ) . if the ridge above the eyes is serrated it is a bandtail scorpionfish ( scorpaenopsis neglecta ) . another scorpionfish , scorpaenopsis gibbosa ( humpback scorpionfish ) , is only found in africa and the indian ocean .
the stonefish is extremely difficult to see because it usually buries most of its body under sand or rubble and only their widely separated eyes show . often algae and hydroids grow on its back . it has been suggested , that stonfishes exude a white , milky substance over their bodies which encourages plant growth . shrimps and other animals have been observed to climb over them . this is the worlds most venomous fish . their near perfect camouflage and the venomous spines make them a hazard for swimmers , snorkelers and divers in shallow water . wounds should be treated immediately with hot water or dry heat .


e.s.b. was an irish-bred , british-trained thoroughbred racehorse best known for his victory in the 1956 grand national .

e.s.b. was a dark bay gelding bred in county kildare by sheila bourke .

trained by fred rimell , e.s.b. was ridden by jockey dave dick in the 1956 running of the famous steeplechase at aintree racecourse .

he started at odds of 100/7 in a field of twenty-nine runners .

the race seemed certain to be won by devon loch , who held a five-length lead on the run-in .

however , forty yards from the finishing post , devon loch suddenly , and inexplicably , half-jumped into the air and collapsed in a bellyflop on the turf .

e.s.b. overtook and sealed an unlikely victory , completing the course in 9 minutes 21.4 seconds , one second off the record completion time .

e.s.b. 's win was the first of four for trainer rimell , who went on to train winners nicolaus silver ( 1961 ) , gay trip ( 1970 ) and rag trade ( 1976 ) .

five grand national greats are to be honoured in awards launched by aintree racecourse .
they will be selected by a public vote in the hall of fame - style initiative , with the winners announced on 9 april , the day of the national .
the nominations were made by a panel of racing experts who were asked to consider the star performers - equine and human - from the 1830s through to the present day .
last year , national - winning trainers ginger mccain and jenny pitman , along with former bbc commentator sir peter o ' sullevan , were among those honoured .
the 10 contenders on the 2011 shortlist are listed below . voting closes on 20 march .
one of the great national trainers , winning four times with different horses , esb ( 1956 ) , nicolaus silver ( 1961 ) , gay trip ( 1970 ) and rag trade ( 1976 ) .
he was champion jockey four times between 1939 and 1946 . after two heavy falls and a broken neck , he switched to training horses and won his first national with esb who got up to beat the unfortunate devon loch .
considered by many to be the greatest racehorse trainer of all - time , he won four cheltenham gold cups , three champion hurdles and three consecutive grand nationals .
he then turned his attention to the flat and went on to take 27 irish classics , three prix de l ' arc de triomphes and 16 english classics , including six epsom derby wins .
within the first decade of his career as a trainer , o ' brien achieved a feat that may never be equalled - a grand national treble with three different horses .
in 1953 , early mist won at 20 - 1 and o ' brien triumphed again at aintree the following year with royal tan before quare times sealed the hat - trick .
the only man to have both ridden and trained two grand national winners ( sundew 1957 and kilmore 1962 / jay trump 1965 and anglo 1966 ) .
he was champion jockey four times during the 1950s and leading trainer seven times in the 1970s and considered unique by all his contemporaries .
he was a master over the course and believed in giving his horses time and not chasing the leaders until the second circuit .
champion fought and successfully overcame cancer , before winning the grand national in 1981 .
their story , brought to millions through the 1983 film champions where john hurt played the jockey , recalls one of the most emotional national victories and has been an inspiration to many thousands of other people suffering from cancer .
champion has continued to raise considerable money for cancer research , including a sponsored walk he and aldaniti took from buckingham palace to aintree .
nearly a quarter of a century later , he became one of an elite group of men who have successfully ridden and trained grand national winners when his son , paul carberry , rode bobbyjo to victory - becoming the first irish trained winner of the race since l ' escargot 24 years earlier .
the well - backed bobbyjo had won the irish grand national a year previously and jumped beautifully to win by 10 lengths .
captain tim forster became the first owner - trainer to win the national since the second world war when 14 - 1 chance well to do scored a poignant win at aintree in 1972 .
forster , who died in 1999 aged 65 , also went on to train two more national winners - ben nevis in 1980 and last suspect in 1985 . he is one of only seven trainers to have won the big race three times .
he had bought well to do for just over £700 on behalf of one of his chief owners , heather sumner , in 1966 . when she died of cancer , she left him the choice of any of her horses in her will . he opted for her own favourite well to do .
ben nevis won under amateur american jockey charlie fenwick for forster , who was a popular and well - respected character , known for his pessimism .
although he won his first national in 1968 aged just 20 on red alligator , he will forever be associated with the great red rum on whom he secured victories in 1973 and 1974 .
west tip - a misspelling of west tipp as in tipperary - ran in six consecutive nationals . he won once , finished second another time was twice fourth .
the bay gelding , under a cool ride from richard dunwoody , won by two lengths in 1986 .
he was fourth in the following two nationals and was runner - up to little polveir in 1989 at the age of 12 .
boasting the best national record in modern times for a jockey , he rode 14 years in a row , winning twice ( west tip 1986 & miinnehoma 1994 ) and being placed on several occasions .
he was second on west tip in 1989 , third on superior finish ( 1996 ) , samlee ( 1998 ) and call it a day ( 1999 ) , fourth on west tip ( 1987 & 1988 ) and sixth on bigsun ( 1990 ) .
in 1993 , dunwoody took over from peter scudamore as first jockey to champion trainer martin pipe and a year later he won the national on 11 - year - old miinnehoma , named after an oil well and owned by liverpudlian comedian freddie starr .
dunwoody rode a record 1 , 679 domestic national winners , a feat which was broken by current champion tony mccoy .
now a bbc racing pundit , he featured on the strictly dancing show and has completed polar treks for charity .
the 18th duke of alberquerque ( beltran de osorio y diez de rivera ) was a spanish nobleman who harboured childhood dreams of winning the grand national after seeing a cinema newsreel film of the race .
during the 1950s , 60s and 70s , he rode in the race seven times as an amateur and more often than not ended up in walton hospital with serious injuries following falls .
the duke reckoned he suffered a total of 107 fractures at aintree , but finally , in 1974 , his efforts were rewarded as he finished a strong eighth behind red rum on his own nereo - an admirable return for his persistence and enthusiasm .
he attempted the race again , aged 57 , with nereo in 1976 , but fell .
ginger mccain and red rum - won the grand national for a record three times in the 1970s and was second twice .
manifesto - ran in the national eight times , finishing third on three occasions and fourth once , in addition to two victories . he was 16 when he last ran in the race , finishing unplaced in 1904 .
jenny pitman - first woman to train a grand national winner when corbiere won in 1983 and triumphed again with royal athlete 12 years later .
sir peter o ' sullevan - the ' voice of racing ' , who is now aged 92 , commentated on 50 grand nationals for the bbc . his charitable trust raises money for the protection of horses .
edward topham - took over the management of aintree racecourse in the mid - 19th century and his family dynasty remained in control through three generations for 125 years .
george stevens - jockey won the race five times from 1856 to 1870 . his final dramatic victory was on the colonel who gunned down the doctor by a neck in a thrilling finish .

most people know esb irish nimbus , he is an institution ! he has been quite unwell and we were starting to fear the worst ( he is nearly 20 yrs old ) . he has been scoped and had an ultra sound ( see his clipped girth area ) to discover large tumours in his mediastinum ( the area in the chest between the lungs , that contains the heart , the aorta , the trachea and the oesophagus ) . well after much fuss and many discussions about what to do next , he has rallied to graze the ' long acre ' yet again as ' charlie the unicorn ' ! bless him oxo

he is the only show jumper to win five olympic gold medals and seven total olympic medals , and the only equestrian in any discipline to compete and win medals in six different olympic games .
in 1956 in the first round , winkler pulled a groin muscle at the penultimate obstacle , after his mare took off early and threw him out of position . despite the pain , winkler decided to ride in the third round , as the german team would be eliminated without him .
after he was given tranquilizers , winkler found that he was comfortable sitting , but riding was difficult and painful . any drugs that could reduce the pain enough to make him comfortable in the saddle would also reduce his mental capacity , and therefore he was only given black coffee before his ride to try to help reduce his dizziness and double - vision .
however , his great mare , halla sensed that her rider was not right , and performed the entire course clear with almost only steering from winkler , and their performance won them the individual gold .
hans ' american - born wife debby malloy died following a riding accident 2011 .
please remember that the irish horses are different to other breeds and are very slow to mature . what you give on one end , you will get back on the other ! for example : esb irish caramore is 31yo ; irish chimes 27yo ; esb irish era 23yo ; esb irish desire 22yo and esb irish affection 19yo are still going , just to name a few !
he doesn ' t have his own page as he is a pure tb .
he has lovely paces and is great cross country being super bold and confident .
have proven themselves over and over again . the bloodlines and selection process has been implemented since 1986 and esb has firmly established itself as one of the largest and most consistent producers of eventing horses in australia , if not the world .
esb irish enough was ranked 7th in the world by the world breeding federation of sport horses with very few progeny on the ground due to his unfortunate death .

a - pours a reddish brown color nice 1 finger head of an off white tint , no real lacing though .
t - tastes like a bad brown ale , all malt flavors with barely any hops or even bitterness . very bland , and mildly tart
pours a deep orange with a very large off white head with good retention .
aromas begin with sweet pale malt and some light honey / caramel . as it warms you get some slight doughy , roasted maltiness with a bit of earthy hoppiness .
the tastes follow the nose with light caramel , toasted bready maltiness with some light toffee flavors as well . light and clean earthy hoppiness emerges more as it warms .
the mouthfeel is light bodied with medium to high carbonation . finish is lightly dry and earthy but mainly clean and crisp .
overall this is a decent , flavorful and balanced esb . nothing to mind - blowing but quite satifying considering the abv , but nothing close to the traditional quality english examples or even as good as many american interpretations .
12 oz bottle from a variety pack . pours hazy - amber with a thick , foamy , long lasting white head and some lacing . aroma is of bready malt , caramel and some fruity notes . body is medium and crisp . bready , caramel malt is balanced on the palate by earthy hops . finish is long and bitter . good brew but not “special” .
look : 3 | smell : 3 | taste : 3 . 5 | feel : 3 | overall : 3 . 5
aroma was basically just caramel malts with hardly anything to speak of . taste is plain and average tasting with malts . there is a sutle nutty finish . drinks smooth but feels abrasive with a bitter or grain husk finish .

although esb stands for extra special bitter , traditionally these malt - forward brews are only bitter compared to the porters which dominated the beer scene when esbs were first brewed . from the first whiff , dfa gives you plenty of malt to think about , with notes of floral , delicate citrus , and a subtle grassyness from the hops used . a light malty body is followed by a slight hop bitterness indicative to the style . this is the first recipe designed for h & d ; by our assistant brewer , titus , and homes to one of his favorite styles . as its name suggest , this easygoing beer is down for anything – from being your peak beer on a hike to helping you tend the barbeque out back . show less
