More Snorkeling at Port Noarlunga


A Ringed Toadfish (Omegophora armilla). The "ring" can be seen around the pectoral fin.










A pink sponge.











Razor Fish (Family Pinnidae)
Two more sponges?
As far as sponges go, Australia is a relatively poorly studied area. Queensland Museum "Sponguide" notes that there are about 1400 described species, but estimates that there are 5000 or so species existing.
