Here we have the Collector Urchin ( Tripneustes gratilla ) , growing to 15cm and loving a diet of algae and sea grass these guys have a unique way of camoflaging themselves , they usually cover themselves with weeds and debris using their sticky tenticles, to protect themselves from predators , but this one had different ideas when it comes to going Camo. " I'm no sea urchin wallflower ! I am fabulous ! There will be no blending in for me ! Tadah Bi***es !! So here we have Priscilla Queen of the Ocean !
How Priscilla got those beautiful shells, coral and even a dead urchin , all over her I have no idea but she is one fabulous, fierce lady !

Today is WORLD TURTLE DAY !
Here are some of the Turtles that call the bay home that I have had the pleasure to snorkel with , allways a magical moment with these beautiful sea creatures . With the bay having some good sea grass beds and a sheltered environment it is a favourite with the local turtles. They do face alot of challenges and the Coffs Coast Wildlife Sanctuary does a great job rescuing and rehabilitating them when they need assistance . So if you would like you can drop them a donation so they can continue their great work.
Some of these photos are available as mounted prints Minnie Water General Store & Cellars .

THINGS THAT STING YOU WEEK
critter no. 2 : The Mauve Stinger !
Another equally beatiful critter as No.1 ( Blue Dragon) and equally stingy . Now this is the best thing about them ,: their other name is The Purple People Eater ! Obviously named by some scientists kid ! but pretty cool , these jellyfish pack a powerful sting and leave an itchy rash that lasts for weeks with pain and they can eat you ! 😳just kidding on the last bit but maybe the kid saw something .
