Place

Noarlunga Jetty (Google, OSM)

Description

Small and cute but I'm not sure of taxonomy. (Also worth noting that we saw several different looking cephalopods of similar size on this night dive, and at least one will be submitted shortly, but whether they are the same species behaving differently or separate species I'm presently unsure).
