Marine life found in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast. Guernsey is the second largest island in the Channel Islands located between England and France. The gallery begins with general views of the bay followed by major groups of animals including sponges, cnidarians, worms, crustaceans, molluscs, echinoderms, ascidians, fishes and ending with some algae.
I found this tube anemone, Cerianthus lloydii, in a bed of eel grass, Zostera marina, at extreme low water spring tide (ELWS) on the sandy shore on the southern side of Belle Greve Bay. This anemone was in about 5 cm of water. As the first wave of the rising tide swept over it the anemone quickly disappeared from view down its tube.
