This was absolutly amazing with koru like tentacles coming out of the shell yet the shells had long tube like things behind them and all interconnecting. Almost like something you would see on an alien movie!
Interesting too that no birds were anywhere near it.
This koura attracted my attention by pinching me while I was searching among the seaweeds for interesting things to photograph. He is lucky I was not searching for a kai!

Time in the water would not be complete without spotting one of these!
@rongoa these were hanging out in the lagoon and far smaller than the ones we spotted last time in their usual spot! About 1 - 2cm only and there were heaps of them! Really tricky walking there as the chances are you would stand on one.
