Species List: 29-03-2019 to 31-03-2019, Nudibranch Festival, Stradbroke Island, Queensland, Australia

39 species sighted at Stradbroke Island, Qld, 23-03-2019.

10 boat dives by Gary and friends. Dive times 50 minutes, maximum depth 13.5 m, 26-27 C water temperature and up to 25 m viz.

The weekend was filled with finding and learning about Nudibranchs at a place where beauty abounds. I felt the species count was low due to surge and shallow water, but some interesting species were recorded.
