Now this was a bit of a surprise.
Swam out when I lifted a rock. It then tucked into a space nearby. Very weird things. Habitat shot last. That's the spot he was in before I flipped the rock.
~4cm long
Lower intertidal.
Eubranchus cf. rubeolus
On hydroids unders rocks and in sargassum seaweed. 3 observed.
I assume this is a juvenile stargazer. I came across it along the high water mark. Still alive. So I returned it to the sea.
@clinton found at Wellers rock. Not sure of my ID. The default pic is a screen grab from Toms video so its probably the actual colouring. Not seen at this dive spot before that Im aware.
Between 5 and 12m depth here.
10 degrees water temp.
Observation by Divers Tom Bliss (photo’s by Tom) and Anthony Henderson who asked for an ID.
Living on subtidal rock wall in an overhang.

Big one hiding in a massive sponge.
~10cm long
~3m subtidal
Spotted in South Harbour at the Poor Knights Islands, NZ. In a depth of 5-6m.
I just found this little guy in some GoPro rockpool photos. It hung around and showed interest in the food I had dropped in for the triplefins but it's not clear whether it ate any. The photos are heavily cropped.
snips off video GX010328. This Magpie Perch is smaller than the two adults we have seen often at the reef, so a juvenile.
