 Finger being swallowed by anemone, awesome sensation.
 Neptune's Necklace

 Barnacles, Limpets, Ribbed top Shells, Waratah Anenome
Anemone Aulactinia veratra (I think)


We actually saw much more on our second rock pool ramble when the tide was out a little further including- eight armed cushion stars, sea urchins, Orange and White Stripe Anemones Anthothoe albocincta, mussells, Small Seaweed Crabs Notomithrax minor, Chiton, a really great spot to explore.


The Museum of Victoria app was great for identifying the species we saw. You can also visit there site here for the same information. Hopefully we've identified most sea life correctly.
