Description:
How wonderful to be welcomed back into the moana that I know and love by being greeted by junvenile seahares ranging in size from 1 - 5cm. The blue dots can be seen clearly on these which I never saw on the adults, as their papillae (cha! fancy word for seaweed looking stuff on their body) was too thick to see through! I had watched over summer as the adults arrived, mated, spawned and died and now the juviniles are starting the cycle again.
