Bunch of Nudies
This is a group of Nudibranchs at Portsea Hole in Victoria just out from Portsea Pier. (I believe these are a Mexichromis sp. from temperate regions - Akos)
Sea Spider
Well this is a fav, picture of mine I took it at Portsea, on the plateau. If you look carefully you can see what I think are the eggs on its legs and around the spider.

Dragonet
by mat willis
Taken in about .5m of water at Linley Point, Mornington Victoria. The last three times I have dived this area I have found this dragonet hiding under the same rock I use to climb out of the water. Just goes to show how we can swim over some fascinating creatures in our quest to get to that so called "better spot".
