Goliath Stick Insect, one of Australia's largest stick insects.
The species is native to Australia, with sightings recorded in New South Wales and Queensland.

Sea urchin fr genus Phormosoma — 2,011 m (or 5x around a running track if watching this little guy makes you feel the need for speed!) According to @echinoblog, this urchin speed-walks along the sea bottom with spines that are modified with little "shoes." #Doldrums
