sealord > The small snails, Rissostomia membranacea, somehow remain attached to the leaves of eel grass, Zostera marina, even while the eel grass leaves are being pulled from one side to another by the surf and currents of the seashore.  This gastropod was found on eel grass at the southern end of Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast and photographed on 5 November 2006

sealord > A dahlia anemone, Urticina felina, with a diameter of 5 to 6 cm growing on the side of the rectangular metal float of a pontoon attached to the fish quay in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey.  This photograph was taken with a Canon S80 digital camera with an underwater housing.  Fanworms grow down from the base of the pontoon float.  

The dahlia anemone is uncommon in Guernsey rock pools on the seashore but the pontoon attached to the fish quay has large numbers of them.  Unfortunately, the pontoon is cleaned every four or five years so they will be removed but presumably they will recolonise the cleaned pontoon in time.
