The sponge, Pachymatisma johnstonia, grows on a wall of the Gouliot caves on Sark's west coast.  I visited the cave system during a low spring tide on the 12 September 2007.  The Gouliot Caves were designated a RAMSAR site in April 2007.

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.

Photographed on the 17 February 2007.

This is one of the three long-spined sea scorpions, Taurulus bubalis, I found in 'crater' rock pool (See  http://sealord.smugmug.com/gallery/1984411#127980518 ) in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast on the 5 February 2007.  The camouflage is extraordinary.  The skin colour of the fish's head matches the adjacent rock closely.  To blend with their surroundings I presume these fish stay in one place for sufficient time to alter the colour of their skin.
