Found by a member of the public on a Golden Bay beach and posted on social media.

Meal time for this one. A medium sized one with the beautiful gold colouration.
Not sure what the triplefin in the mouth is, maybe scaly-headed?

~14cm long
~4m subtidal

Maybe. First three photos are after I have tried to wash some of the sand and plankton off it. Found dead on high tide line. Moderate SW winds

Another one!

Maybe another one of these?

Small one zipped in front of me twice then vanished into the dark.

~10cm long
~8m subtidal

A school of Warehou at the fish spot

Originally thought this was Seriola dumerili, and published the record as such. It turns out this was incorrect, when IDed according to "The fishes of NZ" book (Te Papa)

Found trapped in a tide pool at Tahunanui. Released back to the sea.

Little one near the big conger.

~6cm long
~1m subtidal

In 300m depth

I think it's just the common fish that swim around in the shallows but a couple were sitting still in some floating algae which was cool.

~3cm long

Lone guy stuck in a pool of water full of seagrass

How about this one?

I thought maybe Periclimenes yaldwyni, but looks like Palaemon?

Taken while spearfishing at Cape Runaway. Part of a school of 30-50.

Blue paua like

Yellow variation

Under a rock. I thought only A. fuscus has a pale line on the top of its head, but this specimen has way to many spines in the anal fin and only 3 lateral lines.

Thought the orange was pretty cool. It was in an overhang close to shore.

The most calm one I've found, hence the decent pics.

Feeding, some of the green algae have been rendered clear.

@conwaykw ?
Very small and hiding under urchins. I think it is a juveile D. morelandi but I would like to hear your opinion. Thanks
