屬 Janolus觀察者
luca_dt描述
A new one for me. This is the red rhinophore Janolus seen at the Poor Knights by Ian Skipworth (https://ianskipworth.com/photo/d90uw/d901442/DSC_3017.jpg).
Diving at night really brings out some amazing Nudibranchs.
~1.5 cm long
~6 m subtidal

The photos are very heavily cropped to try and show detail in the fish.
The bird is Egretta novaehollandiae ssp. novaehollandiae (White-faced Heron), uploaded to https://inaturalist.nz/observations/139202326

These tiny creeping jellyfish were collected in a plankton net thrown from a rocky shore and dragged in over some seaweed, where they had been living. Photographed under a microscope, the larger bell was 0.7-0.8 mm diameter. These micro-medusae live on intertidal seaweed in the surf zone and creep around on their multiple tentacle "legs".
They reproduce asexually by budding off new individuals from the central disk - note about six developing buds on the bigger specimen, with the top two now recognizable as nearly-ready to be freed new jellyfish. The central disk was a tannish golden color, with red eyespots.

Very happy to find this one. Was just at the edge of a random overhang quite deep.
Interesting that it was almost exactly a year ago these were last seen around here.

Getting confused with the descriptions of these species. Limnichthys? Tewara? @clinton?

Now this was a bit of a surprise.
Swam out when I lifted a rock. It then tucked into a space nearby. Very weird things. Habitat shot last. That's the spot he was in before I flipped the rock.
~4cm long
Lower intertidal.

I assume this is a juvenile stargazer. I came across it along the high water mark. Still alive. So I returned it to the sea.

Matches the species description provided here. Seeing as all specimens of this species were collected from Kaikoura, I'd be interested in knowing if the original paper (which I don't have access to) discusses the possibility of a wider distribution.
Clearly differed from C. sirena by its pattern and smaller number of marginal eyes, also much smaller in size. Under a rock at approx. 1m depth.

Cool to find these again, and now I know where they live. There were lots of them in the upper intertidal area of the rocks, this was around high tide. Habitat shots last.

Found at about 2p.m., in a rock pool/crevice, at the kaikoura seal colony, in a part that was in shadow, and then on the shadier side of the crevice too. Was awake and moving about.
Have since read they are nocturnal, and did wonder when it was in all that shade.

About 10mm across.
I have added 2 more photos showing the transdifferentiation process going on in the gonads of the jellyfish. You can see polyps growing which will eventually develop into mature medusae.
So Turritopsis rubra is another immortal jellyfish species it would seem.
The 3rd picture is of one I accidentally squashed when handling. The polyps are clearly seen.
