Juvenile Sweetlips on the loose!

Reef Xplore! guide Hui Bing, who took divers out Pulau Hantu over the weekend with the Blog dives, photographed this adorable baby Sweetlips on Hantu's reef!

These tiny, spotted, agressive swimmers try to mimic the undulating movements of a flatworm, confusing predators and wriggling into the safety of the reef. A tough task to photograph, the dancing, juvenile Sweetlips is a relatively common critter on Hantu's reef. Look out for them the next time you take a dip into our local waters!
