SeaMoth and Baby from BeachBum on Vimeo.
Was at Chek Jawa with a visiting group of undergrad students from Duke University when some of the group spotted the Sea Moths seen in the video.The large one was about 5cm long whilst the tiny baby was only about 6mm!
The tiny one also looks a little different from the larger one in that it's snout and tail was much shorter compared to rest of its body.
Interestingly enough, sea moths uses their pelvic fins to walk on the bottom.
