These pics are from the south east Queensland aquarium society field trips, just a few on here from now on of the thousands of aandtscoiety pics we take when we are either on our low tide walks, free diving, spearing our dinner or just looking around on scuba.
There a couple of pics of some species collected as to how their lives are going in the aquariums as well.
This winter ocean temps are failing again, its far to warm again so good and bad changes are making things even more weird out there.
There are some improvements though; the grey nurse sharks are like flies now because of the green zones putting more food on their table.
At one particular site in all the time i was going there from the late 70s till 5 years back, there were never any grey nurse there, now there are over twenty in that spot and the other boats report that they are every where!
The vis of late has been bad, the first pic is one of our fav rock pools to look around in is as good as it has been for months.
This is that rock pool.
One of our guys having a look on tank.
Our part of the ocean is well and truly having problems for the more delicate corals, the amount of dead sps is around 70 percent at several sites from lack of light and salinity variations.
Though the sps are in a bad way around here there are a lot of the ones featured being fungia, in the hundreds and hundreds.
In the tank two months later,it has grown from a ten cent piece size to now worth twenty cents.
It's funny to watch it change its fleshes shape and sort of walk.
To many thor amboinensis to count that we see regularly.
At home over a month later.
A one inch imperator collected.
This is it in this fish only" mostly" tank for just over a month now, very healthy and no one bothers it.
There are a lot of mermaids tail coralline algae, caulerpa, sponges, lps and sps in there as well.
