Description:

"This one was lurking in the seaweed instead of under rocks as usual and I only spotted it when the ""seaweed"" moved like a snake along the bottom of the sea floor and disappeared. This one was much larger than the ones I usually see around here, with tentacles about 600mm each. The very distinctive orange on the suckers was also more of a brown colour."
