Planula Bed and Breakfast Retreat, Byron Bay

One of the Green Moray Eels must have been hungry and had a go at a small (~70 cm) Ornate Wobbegong Shark.

Plenty of beautiful nudbranchs in Hugho’s Trench, including the faboulous Miamira magnifica and an unidentified species (see photo on the left). Can anybody help? It might be a Hypseloidoris sp.

A few more Grey Nurse Sharks were hanging out at Julian Rocks this week.

Sunny, only some heavy rain on Monday night. Winds picking up in the afternoons. Some clouds, a bit of lightning action, but no storms. Early in the week the winds turned from S to N/NW.
