question about fish
Very interested in the question of the presence of "living creatures"? The fact that there are sea urchins is clear from the reviews. And what about bright fish, so that the photos would be hoo. I understand that this is not Charm, but still??? I will be grateful for any answer.

The fish there are gorgeous - photos and impressions will be amazing. We did not get out of the water for hours, admiring the underwater beauty. And although there was no underwater camera, there were a lot of impressions: from small multi-colored (fish) to turtles, stingrays and even snakes (you should not be afraid))))))

Absolutely))))))))))))))) They are all more afraid of you than you are of them (even the "terrible" moray eels))))))).. Unless the lion fish do not react to you, only because I know that you will not touch them))))))))))

Personally, I'm afraid!
The poison is 10 times stronger than the cobra. The hook-nosed snake Enhydrina schistosa releases enough poison in one bite to kill more than 50 people.

Most often, sea eels are confused with snakes;)))
It is said that snakes do not enter the Red Sea because of the barrier in the form of a cold upwelling to the south of the Arabian Peninsula.
But there are snakes.
PELAMID BICOLOR (Pelamis platurus) Yellow-bellied sea snake. A real ocean snake. It is pelagic (lives in the open sea), often keeps near the surface, sometimes with floating algae, and sometimes throws them ashore. It is considered non-aggressive, but you can "play out" ...

Already in Moscow, I read that lionfish are dangerous, and the evidence is very attractive and harmless. Check the internet before you go. And then you will already understand what you can touch, and what to keep your distance from. Eat and sharks at papa74

Yes, and Sharm is not an indicator, as I understand it, in terms of the quantity and quality of fish. In Dahab, I saw fish, sorry, I don’t know many names - it’s easier from the pictures, which are considered to be very rare in Sharm.

templier71,Most likely it was not a snake, but Moray. There are many of them. They jump out of the rocks and just as suddenly disappear into the corals. Scary.

As a biologist, I can distinguish moray eels from snakes (especially since she didn’t scare, but calmly crawled along the corals in a thin layer of water at low tide))))))))))))))) .. But to argue - I won't - I saw a creature that local dive guides called a sea snake. And I'm not alone)))

"These were clearly not eels .." - Have you seen an eel? Only in difference is the tail (flat or round). When you see it for the first time, there is no time to look at the tails ...
Snow moray eels (Echidna Moray) crawl on corals
I don’t think that the locals have the Internet or they use it ... And what to say they don’t care.
Type in the search engine "Snakes of the Red Sea" - there is nothing sensible.
Almost became a biologist...

I read it, I agree with a lot of things (at the expense of caution) .. But if you go to Egypt (and anywhere else) with the idea that death does not sleep, then this is no longer a vacation - it’s not far from paranoia and psychiatry))))))). You just need to remember - do not touch living creatures with your hands - they will not touch you either)))

Full of fish! Everyone!
And Sharm is not an indicator ... having traveled all the resorts of the Red Sea, I can say that in Taba and Dahab there are much more and more diverse fauna in the sea.

I saw a sea snake in Taba, three meters from the shore, in color - in black and yellow rings. She floated gently under me. I would not say that she was shy, unlike me. If I was without a mask, I could hurt her. Upon arrival home, I read a lot of literature. It was an Aspedian reef snake, very venomous. So, there are snakes in the Red Sea.
PS At that moment I thought I would go out on the water on foot. I'm very afraid of snakes.

"Red and yellow promises death, but red and black do no harm" ("Red and yellow, kill a fellow; red and black, friendly jack").
However, this rule can only be applied with certainty to Coral Snakes living in the southern and eastern regions of the United States.

I didn't want to tell, I wanted to ask, which I did. I already wrote that upon arrival I read a lot about sea snakes and from the "wiki" incl. I am seriously asking you, as a specialist, what was it? I came to the conclusion that this is a sea snake from the Aspedi. But I'm not sure I'm right.

I can recommend literature.

Described 555 species of fish, discovered 29 new ones in the Sea, made a huge contribution to the taxonomy and systematics of coral fish.

It didn't feel right, that's for sure. I did not drink alcohol until the evening. Drugs are not my element.

This book has a very small article about snakes. Almost one page (out of 381 pages).
There aren't any.
Look at the most detailed Internet resource about Red Sea animals.
http://redsea.dive.ru/GR.htm
There are reptiles, only turtles ...
I recommend to look at the photo of MUREN and EEL. Thinking your snake is somewhere out there...
