Ringscale Threefin (Enneapterygius atrogulare)Observer
emikokDescription
I saw this male was bright orange this morning. Very bright. Then I found a female near him. She started to shake her body, then he was try to be on the female, it was just a second. Then circling around female. She shakes her body again, he put onto her again. Circling, shaking and mating again and again.
Was she lying eggs there??
Another very pale ringscale threefin ( probably changing sex from female to male?) was near this couple and watching this...

Australian Angelshark (Squatina australis)Observer
johnsearDescription
I have changed the Id on this one as it is the same individual as the one identified last weekend as S.australis. The latest photo provides the front shot of the mouth that makes identification clearer between S.australis and S.albipunctata
