Many all through the crevice. And some around the outside too. Night time really does bring them all out. Though I think the population has just boomed as they have been seen during the day too, and last time I was here I only saw a tiny one. Many good sized ones but one was very large. I didn't think they could get so big!
~4 cm long average, 6 cm long max
~ 5 m subtidal

Again a few active ones at night. I got 'stung' again and no pain. This one is strange with the orange dots all over. perhaps part of a stage in reproduction.

An amazing glass squid. When I disturbed it it would tuck in its tentacles and eyes, and even its fins and show big spots. So cool. The area around the brain was brightly iridescent. There are very faint long tubercles around the mantle if that helps with species id.
Really hard to get nice shots with a compact camera sadly.
~2.5cm long

I've seen a couple of these around so never thought to check I.D. going back through photos and can't see any similar on here. Help would be appreciated :)

Single vine (the original (type) specimen) growing on Kunzea triregensis. At the time this observation was made the vine was being shaded out and was in danger of dying out. Our (Department of Conservation) 1991 field work involved careful pruning of the canopy to let in more light and tying up (on to cables) of the vines that were found trailing in the dense vegetation. As a result of these measures the vine flowered for the first time (since it was discovered in 1946) in 1995. However, seed set in the wild is still not happening, probably because the flowers are destroyed by kakariki (Cyanoramphus novaezelandiae novaezelandiae)

I finally managed to see one of these up on the south coast headlands! Well worth a few pricks from a day of poking around in speargrass.

Again super interested in this one, I don't think it is aciphylla? However inat doesn't have any better suggestions and I don't know what else it could be? There were multiple plants and I can take more photos if needed

One under the same rock which has had them previously. This rock always has the yellow sponges and the red hydroids that these feed on.
