Adults crowding a cleaning station,host(s) uncertain but some pics include a juvenile Moonlighter. I'd expect this to be a station shared by several host taxa including the Moonlighter, Rockpool Shrimp and WCCs(Western Cleaner Clingfish).

Another smallish adult. The species was common on this snorkel near Carrickalinga Head but no really big ones were seen. Even so,on the relatively few snorkels I've done in this Green Sanctuary Zone since it was gazetted circa 2014 I think the numbers and average size of adults has gradually increased.(As would be expected!)
[NB: At start of snorkel we saw 2 wondrously large Bluethroat Wrasses, a big male followed by a big female, both fleeing from a cliff-base hole out to deeper water (no images unfortunately). Prior to becoming a no-take Green Sanctuary Zone such mature BT Wrasses were rarely if ever seen close to shore anywhere along this coast].
