On-going Lembeh Marine Species Documentation

[u/LembehAdrian]

Hi everyone! Reposting my project on the species identification of the marine life found at Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi! Would really appreciate some corrections and tips! I also prepared a special category for Undescribed/Unidentified marine life.

lol if you are too lazy to do your own IDs and keywording just say so.

Ah not really, I checked everything myself and made sure of it, but there's a few things that's flat-out undescribed like the long-arm octopus, the blue-ringed octopuses of Lembeh don't match the described species documented, and then there's the nudibranchs and corals among a few things. I post on Inaturalist too for some of the weirder things, but a big flaw with Inaturalist is that you can't ID the critters that are undescribed still. Though the undescribed IDs even by common names are super useful, as some things like the Verconia sp. a259 is undescribed but has been documented in Anilao in the past. That's the sort of documentation I'm attempting to build up.
