These fish were resident in a rockpool. As they mature they will turn blue colour and move out to sea.
This octopus was the more usual species found in the rockpools. It took the food I offered it each day for six days then disappeared.
Reef herons are well camouflaged against the rocks they prefer to feed from but do also walk along the shoreline at times.
Alcithoe arabica This is the "depressa" form found only in the far north. It is thicker and heavier than the more elongate standard form. The patterning can vary from being completely plain as in this specimen to very ornate. And of course every variation in between.
