The relatively large oyster like valve in upper frame in each photo. Beach washed.

Snorkel , shallowest subtidal as tide was receding.

Orange, at centre. Not uncommon here in the shallow subtidal. (And probably deeper, but this was a very shallow solo snorkel).

During entry for our first snorkel at this spot we first swam over a very small but healthy Sea Nymph meadow (after pushing through masses of detrital seaweeds in the shallows).

Nocturnal intertidal platform reef walk at low tide. Limited image quality. Probably the New Zealand taxon.

Same species probably as in my preceding observation from same site, although this image was taken a bit closer to the beach ie shallower and more protected (??relevance??).

Shallow subtidal, moderate exposure site, snkl images.

Shallow subtidal. (I've forgotten the name for the slug that produces these distinctive egg ribbons,which were uncommon here but are at times prolific in, for example, Coffin Bay).

These were prolific in the silty, sandy littoral zone and shallow subtidal at this location. Receding tide.

The pale mesh pattern coverings on this bit of drift detrital common Kelp (which also has a heavy coating of coralline algae making its base colour pink).
