The Grey Nurse Sharks have left us and we’ll have to wait a few months for their return. No further Leopard Shark sightings.
Plenty of ray action with large Bullrays making appearances and the Blue-spotted Stingrays moving in. A Giant Shovelnose ray or Guitarfish was zooming around. Some rumours of a couple of Manta Rays as well.
Four little Harlequin Ghost Pipefish were spotted hiding in a Black Coral tree.
Of course there were the wobbegongs, Blue Gropers, Goatfish, Kingfish, Jewfish, Red Morwongs and heaps of different nudibranchs.
