Rare, on noted on totara.

Big one hiding in a massive sponge.

~10cm long
~3m subtidal

Edit: I went back almost six months later and it is still there in the exact same spot. 29/09/22

A very cool nudi I haven't seen before. Certainly seems to be adapted to live on that exact or similar sponge species as it blends in very well.

~0.7 cm long

~2m depth

This guy always follows me round. I think he waits for me to kick up some stuff from the seaweed which he can eat.

~40cm long

collected by Leigh the ranger only hours before from a wild kakapo nest. unfortunately the candling process shows it is infertile.

very artistic

Found in seaweed. To which species of seaweed I am unsure. Moved to pool to photograph then put back.
