How rare is this?

wow thats amazing im soo jealous. i just had to clean snow off my car where im from! i would love to live there! im excited for more pics :)
 
awesome pics, i live in aus too. even though you are allowed to collect some stuff from the wild i personally wouldnt take anything from that reef. every thing there is part of an eco system and all fits into a hierarchy where everything depends on each other for the ecosystem to survive. taking out things is just going to damage the ecosystem, and we underestimate our impact on reefs so much its not funny. better to buy things at a shop, its not going back if it lands in a shop, whether tank bred or not.
 
Awsem !

Awsem !

Lewy : Thanx a lot for sharing your real life experience. I wish i had such places around. But with such pollution around my area i dont think any life would survive in the waters.

Keep us updated

Regards
:)
 
Glad to share my little part of the world.

When the tides are right we are going out to another place at night.

Heaps of fun.

A teaser....

More anemones please! I would love to see some giganteas and how they are situated in the substrate. Any magnificas or mertains around?
 
Man I wish there were local places like these in the states. I really love walking around tidepools and such, but obviously never able to see corals/anemones that we're so used to having in our private tanks. It must be really exciting to see clownfishes and anemones in their natural habitat up close and personal like that....and to be able to pick a juv clown up with the palms of your hands...amazing.

Yes more pics please. No more teasers. :D

One question....are these places accessible if you're on vacation in Australia?

This area is about an hours drive out from where me and lewy live, but it's a bit out of the way though, as you can see from the photos, the actual reef looks pretty boring when you look at it from the top of the bridge, but you have to walk out to really appreciate whats out there in rock pools. Plus depending on when you go day/night you'll find different things. I'm sure Lewy will post some more photos up in the near future as the low tides are going to be at night for the next 6 months or so.
 
By the way, love the pics...it is so interesting to see a tide pool up close. The only ocean I have had the opportunity to see up close is the texas coast and all I can say about that is dead jelly fish on what I guess you could call a beach.:(
 
Yes we did. They get trapped when the tides go out.

You can also catch them using a small hook and prawn as bait off a local wharf as well.
 
Incredible!

It's so .... educational to see pics of the critters in their actual environments. I had no idea that nems would experience that environment.

THANKS!
 
Lewy, Beautiful pictures, they definitely say a thousand words! I'm in awe of the beauty of the tide pools near you, how amazing indeed. To think salt water crocs and clownfish happen to inhabit the same areas at times is wild. Do the crocs ever venture out into the reef zone past the tide pools?

Cheers

wow! how amazing would that be to see all that stuff living out in the wild!! I can only hope that one time in my lifetime I would be able to go to the reef and see such beauty!!! you have no idea how lucky you are!
