Amphioctopus marginatus (coconut octopus)

Antennarius pictus (Juvenile painted frogfish)

This large nudibranch (Pteraeolidia semperi) moved quite quickly over algae towards me. In addition to rhinophores, this species also has tentacles and grows up to 20 cm long.
I took the picture at Murex Bangka Resort.
