Very annoyingly, my strobe decided not to cooperate that day...
Couldn't believe it when I saw it laying there as it was only in 8m depth. The seabed was very silty (is always silty there).
It was pretty small as they go, maybe about 30-35cm in length. It's the only time I have seen one as I believe they are usually in the deep.
