Tanjung Lang, north of Pulau Redang. Depth of the dive site is around 25m, but whale shark was sighted at the surface between 1m - 5m. At one time, it dive down to almost 20 meters and away from us, and was out of sight, but in less than a minute, it came back, circling us. Specimen was very curious and circled a group of 15+ divers and 2 dive boats, for more than 30 minutes, sucking in and playing with bubbles from scuba divers. Specimen is accompanied by Remoras (Echeneis Naucrates) and Cobias (Rachycentron Canadum)

Like most sea spiders, the gracile sea spider has a very thin body to which four very long legs are attached. Well, long here is a relative measurement because the whole creature fits on the tip of your finger.
