Another great time on the substrate before the storms come. Better vis than what other had yesterday. But what is great is two new species, an all white Lomanotus sp. 8 and Thordisa sp. 6. The river keeps on giving...

Myja sp. 1 was spotted in some hydroids but the current would not allow me record it so I collected it to shoot at home only to discover to my shock the sea water I left in the bottle had 'gone off'. Here is a poor photo of it.
