One of many. If it turns out I've posted pictures of individuals separately I would try merging them later.

Possibly at least one of these has already been posted by me from this night dive, but I don't yet know. For the current submission I nominate the background individual as the SUBJECT for ID (The foreground leafy may even be the one in my preceding observation, but I again remind users of my considerable uncertainty as to which of my many photos from this dive show separate individuals vs different photos of one particular individual (and/or pair)).

One of many seen this night dive, please see my comments under earlier submissions of leafies seen on this night dive, with particular emphasis on my uncertainty regarding exact number of individuals. Some observations may be different photos of the same individual. Important to clarify that aspect.

Appeared to have short, wider tube and longer tentacle crown than the otehr Sabella spallanzanii in this area, which is connected to the open gulf. Maybe Sabellastarte? Probably not possible to determine from this limited view.

Old slide transparency scan.
Date very approximate and location approximate.
Depth also approximate but was probably a jetty dive (probably at night),so likely to have been between 4-6 metres.

Compass heading taken of 270° out from beach, located at first shoreline access spot when entering Coffin Bay.
Taken at 4.5m avg. depth @approx 1:30 pm.
Iow tide -> high tide
Near center of channel.
Not 100% sure if this is a Shorthead Seahorse, but it was the closest looking specie I could find.

Flexible circular strand of something green, covered by neat white to green translucent egg-like things. Was found free floating in a rock pool in Fishery Bay and did not appear to have attachment points at the ends.
