@joe_fish, is this a coral?
Night dive Blairgowrie pier
IDing the brown organisms in the middle
Placeholder ID due to visual similarity. Specimen will be collected under permit and sent for expert examination.
I can't figure these out. They look most like M. abditus, but that is well out of range. They were in a loose school similar to the M. ditrema we saw, but look different.
Photo is very zoomed - single different individual in a large multi-species school.
dark blueish brown, red eye.
