Helvella macropus is frequently the victim of parasitism on the part of Hypomyces cervinigenus.

Here's a nudibranch which I think is Mexichromis macropus, though it also looks similar to one of the pictures you have of Mexichromis mariei - it's unclear to me whether this specimen can be considered to have "a border of radially arranged orange or yellow lines", as you write.
The photo was taken at Ship Rock, Port Hacking, Sydney, New South Wales, on 26 March 1998, at a depth of 14m on a rock wall covered with invertebrate growth.

 Forester Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus tasmaniensis) - Unsuccessful listing advice
Macropus giganteus tasmaniensis is recognised as the Tasmanian subspecies of the Eastern Grey Kangaroo, Macropus giganteus, which is widespread throughout the eastern Australian mainland.
The subspecies status of the Forester Kangaroo is based on differences in its skull and coat from the mainland population and its isolation in Tasmania for at least the last 10 000 to 15 000 years.
TSSC recommends that the subspecies Macropus giganteus tasmaniensis (Forester Kangaroo) is not eligible for inclusion in any category of the list referred to in section 178 of the EPBC Act.

 is Octopus macropus dangerous ? - TONMO.com Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
I had a conversation with some scuba divers about Octopus macropus and some of them (from different locations) say the bite of Octopus macropus may be quite dangerous for human, less than the bite of the blue ring octopus, more than the bite of Octopus vulgaris.
I agree with you on the fact that some people may be more sensitive to a toxic bite than others but I find it strange that this species is considered by some people as a toxic one.
In fact we often meet in the same dive Octopus vulgaris and O. macropus in the same environment.

Agile Wallabies feed mainly on native grasses and in the dry time of the year will often dig into the soil to obtain and eat the roots.
Unfortunately the seemingly abundance of the Agile Wallaby and its perceived effect on crops and pastures has led to this beautiful animal being declared a pest species in most farming areas.
