Creatures of the sea waters off Motukaroro, (Passage or Aubrey Island), opposite industrial Marsden Point in Whangarei Harbour. The pictures were taken by Warren Farrelly whose school geography classes are proposing a series of marine reserves in the harbour (see page 26). Above, a crested blenny peers out of a convenient hole in a sponge. The blenny is named for the tufts above its eyes. At right, a red crab photographed while hunting at night. Anemones in the foreground have closed up, withdrawing their tentacles.
