Good feed of mussels.
Seems this Hobart surfer lost his stick in 2017. Found it the other day.

No, the dark parts are possibly bits of algae and part of their foot. These barnacles are known as Goose Barnacles. Trivia: the barnacle has the longest penis in the known animal world, and at full length can attain a size of over 40x their body length.Barnacles my dear! :rightON:Good feed of mussels.

Absolutely. Check this little gem. A Blue Dragon Nudibranch which predates on Blue Bottles and small Jellyfish...
It even absorbs it’s prey’s poison, which in turn makes it poisonous to other marine life.

A week before a storm + a King tide,
A week after the storm...
Warmer Oceans lead too bigger storms which causes bigger erosions, and the beat goes on....
