I've never met one in my Bay rambles and suspect they are relatively rare. Perhaps their preference for water deeper than 10m makes them less likely to meet people! But there seems to be quite a few species expanding their range as the eastern Australian current warms. Speaking of rarity, I understand you're quite a rare artist, combining beautiful colour illustrations of marine life. That's fantastic! Thanks for the report Bridgit.

Unfortunetly it had not survived the recent storms and was washed up high and dry on the sand but not damaged and instantly recognized what it was. I have found them before on occasions and am interested to know how common they are in the bay. I found a balmain bug on my local beach at Rosebud this morning.

That's great that your son was as able to provide the water temp as it tells us more about the critter's tolerances. I'm wondering if he's found them there before?
