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.
The shore squat lobster, Galathea squamifera, is abundant under boulders and cobbles along Guernsey's rocky sea-shore. They usually flip their powerful tails (abdomen) to propel themselves away when they are disturbed. This individual had darted away from a boulder I turned over and sought shelter at the base of a tuft of algae in a Belle Greve Bay rock pool.
