Port Noarlunga has lots of small abalone and normally they are seen as flat shellfish firmly attached to rocks as if welded to them.

Come out and night and those innocent pretend rocks turn into predatory marauding green eyed monsters fit to give children nightmares.

Good thing we are larger the a couple centimeters or these guys would keep me out of the water forever! Well at night at least anyway.
