Photos from the field: diving with Tasmania’s rare and elusive red handfish, your new favourite animal

John Turnbull, UNSW and Jemina Stuart-Smith, University of Tasmania

These tiny fish with oversized hands crawl along the seafloor. They only live in two locations in the world, and they’re disappearing rapidly.

This common lionfish (Pterois volitans) was sighted more than 200km further south than expected down the NSW coast by 14-year-old scuba diver Georgia Poyner. It’s one of almost 40 verified observations she has submitted to Redmap. Redmap/Georgia Poyner
