I collected and photographed this Gonodactylaceus graphurus on Magentic Island, North Queensland, several years ago. If I remember correctly, I found this animal by turning over rocks af during a very low tide. Today, you would need a permit to collect at this location although G. graphurus is common in shore in shallow water from Brisbane to Carins.. The population of G. graphurus are quite varied in their color patterns in this area.
