Description:
This animal is about 40+cm long. Sitting in a rock pool 3m from low tide. It came out of its hole when we arrived, stretched out its arms changed colour and then went back to its position under the ledge. It did not swim for cover under the seaweed but continued to lunch on barnacles. The empty shells of its feast can be seen scattered around its hole.
