Planula Bed and Breakfast Retreat, Byron Bay

Again this week was filled with Grey Nurse Shark sightings, including a very skinny male. They are just hanging in the trenches at the Cod Hole end of Julian Rocks. Beautiful!

Plenty of locals at the rock such as Brown Sweetlips, Black-spot Goatfish, large schools of bullseyes, Common Lionfish, Wobbegong Sharks, turtles, Red Rockcods and Blue-lip Anemonefish. Also spotted was a Phyllidiidae ocellata, a very colourful and easily recognisable nudibranch (see photo on the left).
