Planula Bed and Breakfast Retreat, Byron Bay

Did I say the Grey Nurse Sharks had left us? This week a small one (1.5 meters) was spotted in the Nursery. Look at the photo on the left to see a photo of a Wobbegong Shark eating a moray eel. It wasn’t quite sure how to go about it though! Cod, Jewfish, butterflyfish, neon damsels, a number of hyper Blue-spotted Stingrays, and some majestic eaglerays.
