The triton nudibranch is easily identified by its large orange body with small tufts of gills along its back ridges. It is rare amongst our dive sites and has only been found a handful of times at Aramoana and Harrington point.
This large crab can be found in large numbers in sheltered parts of the Otago Harbour and local inlets. It can crush cockles and other shellfish easily using its strong pincers.
The Painted Prawn has a colour pattern of longitudinal bands of green and red. It hides by day in dark rocky crevices and can be found in tidal pools on rocky shores.
