"Golden Eye" I was looking at some shrimp under a ledge when this ray popped its head out. It didn't seemed perturbed that I was so close and I think it scrubbed up for the occassion as the colours of blue and gold were intense.

I dont know what sort of fish this is, it has some similar features to a dragonnet with its pert lips and extended eyes. This photo was taken at the 1 Mile Jetty in Carnarvon W.A, and the specimen was about 2cm long and very mobile. Only one in focus

Baby Sea Lion - Kangaroo Island

I found this prehistoric sharks tooth about 4km from the ocean embedded in rock on the cape in Exmouth in 1991. Needless to say I dont want to meet the rest of this creature. Its one large tooth.
