This long-spined sea scorpion, Taurulus bubalis, was spotted nearby while finding a tompot blenny, Parablennius gattorugine; a five bearded rockling, Ciliata mustela; and two long-spined sea scorpions under one boulder in a shallow pool in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast on 4 February 2007. This long-spined sea scorpion has a parasitic isopod, Anilocra frontalis, attached to the right side of the head.

This long-spined sea scorpion, Taurulus bubalis, was found in the same small pool in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast as thirty-nine juvenile hermit crabs, Pagurus bernhardus. The parasitic isopod, Anilocra frontalis, can be seen attached to the flank of the fish above the pectoral fin. Photographed on 4 February 2007.

This long-spined sea scorpion, Taurulus bubalis, was photographed on 4 February 2007 while I was investigating a small pool in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast where I found hiding under a cobble thirty-nine juvenile hermit crabs, Pagurus bernhardus. This fish, a member of the sculpin family, has a skin parasite, Anilocra frontalis, attached above the pectoral fin on its right side. These parasitic isopods (crustacea) are common on long-spined sea scorpions arriving on the shore in Belle Greve Bay at this time of year.

This sea slug, Berthella plumula, was photographed at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast. Whereas many sea slugs visit the Guernsey shore seasonally to lay eggs this slug is seen on the shore at all times of year. I have seen it on every trip to the shore. It is usually found dry under a boulder or cobble and looks like a drop of jelly. The rhinophores are rarely visible. The body is covered in a reticulated pattern and there is a transparent area in the middle of the slug, which is said to resemble an excurrent opening (osculum) of the sponge it feeds on. This is thought to be the sponge, Oscarella sp., although some early researchers have written that the slug feeds on the star ascidian, Botryllus schlosseri.
