The stuff of myths and legends...a juvenile hapuka at Trevor's Rocks. Spotted and filmed by Danielle Watson, this is one of the few recorded sightings of hapuka at the Poor Knights for a long time. Tom Trnski, Head of Natural Science at Auckland Museum, reckons it is Polyprion oxygeneios and we are pretty excited about this sighting!

Género JanolusObservador
luca_dtDescrição
Found out who laid the eggs! Not sure between Galeojanolus ionnae and Janolus hyalinus. Looks similar to Skips' Galeojanolus pics but they could be J hyalinus too. The cerata aren't particularly swollen or blunt like Galeojanolus.
Amazing to find. It moved surpisingly quickly. I went back to see it again but couldn't find it. They must blend in very well with the silty reef. They are probably somewhat numerous too since the eggs are quite common. I saw two masses this dive.
They must feed on the bugula bryozoans which is unexpected. They are the only branching byrozoans around here.
~3.5cm long
~5m subtidal
