Description:

A wheke displaying the camoflague technique between big browns in the low intertidal zone. They lurk under them and to see them you get down at their level. Slowly move the sea weeds out of the way and the wheke will slowly move, enabling you to get good photos, including the eyes which are used to aid with species identification. Add these to your wheke spotting 101 notes @pjd1 and don't forget, the practical assessment is coming up soon! *LOL*
