 8 species sighted at Fish Cage, Mooloolah River, La Balsa Park, Buddina, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. 27-10-2022.

A single solo shore entry dive with Gary of 166 minutes. Maximum depth 6.2 m, 23 C water temperature, 1-3 m viz.

With a big 1.9 m tidal flow I decided to give it a go and see if the profiler did any damage. Well it didn't seem to have done so.  Murphydoris cobbi where quite common today.  I am sure the tidal flow keep many animals at bay.

Goniodoridella savignyi -2
Haminoea so. 18 shell -1
