Unfortunately, the quality of the video is blurry and poor as I didn't realise the underwater lens cover has come off from my Olympus Tracker. We saw two of them this morning.

Kelp like mass of eggs housed inside a gelatinous, translucent ribbon. The ribbons are about 6cm across and about 0.1-0.3 metres long buried in the sand. Looks like seaweed? Found in amongst seagrass in Gunnamatta Bay. There were two patches of this about 3 metres apart. We have never observed this before.
