An adult and juvenile under a big rock. The exact same rock I had found the Janolids under previously.

The stuff of myths and legends...a juvenile hapuka at Trevor's Rocks. Spotted and filmed by Danielle Watson, this is one of the few recorded sightings of hapuka at the Poor Knights for a long time. Tom Trnski, Head of Natural Science at Auckland Museum, reckons it is Polyprion oxygeneios and we are pretty excited about this sighting!

Found out who laid the eggs! Not sure between Galeojanolus ionnae and Janolus hyalinus. Looks similar to Skips' Galeojanolus pics but they could be J hyalinus too. The cerata aren't particularly swollen or blunt like Galeojanolus.
Amazing to find. It moved surpisingly quickly. I went back to see it again but couldn't find it. They must blend in very well with the silty reef. They are probably somewhat numerous too since the eggs are quite common. I saw two masses this dive.
They must feed on the bugula bryozoans which is unexpected. They are the only branching byrozoans around here.
~3.5cm long
~5m subtidal

Juveniles were abundant, the odd one around 8cm long. The fishable ones stayed away from the reef while I was there and were observed more by Ed (Freediving).

Aggregation of oceanic manta rays feeding east of the Hen and Chicks, spread over a fairly large area. Most seen at once was four. Several observed close or under small schools of skipjack (?) feeding at the surface.
Krill can been seen jumping out of the water above the ray in the fourth image.

several people spent a good 45 mins at least (based on photo times) waiting for sleepy bird to lose their rock for a flight shot as the tide came in

ID scrutinized. Smaller than nearby NZ dotterel with longer paler legs, larger and more horizontal than nearby Banded dotterels. Bill too large for a Lesser sand-plover.

Unsure on this one, could it be an oriental dotterel?
