Upside-down jellyfish and small crustaceans that invade the mouths of fish and eat their tongues are among the hundreds of new species discovered in Australia's coral reefs.
The often weird and wonderful marine species were recorded during a four-year exploration of the waters around Lizard and Heron islands in the Great Barrier Reef, and Ningaloo Reef in north western Australia, scientists announced.
The inventory is part of a worldwide Census of Marine Life (CoML) which is set to release its results in 2010.
You'll never guess why they are doing this audit...
Maybe you will...
And what magic words were used to get the funding?
