I think this flatworm is Cycloporus papillosus. Two individuals were lying on a large colony of the compound ascidian Botryllus schlosseri, on the base of a rock, just south of the Lihou Island causeway. This flatworm was photographed having glided off the ascidian colony on the 9 May 2009. The Botryllus schlosseri colony had been excavated and several deposits of very small eggs were deposited in the depression. I do not know if the flatworms produced the eggs or some other species such as a mollusc. File No. 090509 3943 ©RLLord sealordphotography.net fishinfo@guernsey.net

The Columbus crab, Planes minutus, was given to me by Guernsey commercial fisherman Chris Marquis on 14 December 2006. He found the crab living on a buoy covered in goose barnacles, which was floating near Herm and Sark in the Bailiwick of Guernsey. This crab was photographed hanging upside down on a cuttlebone. The crab likes to float near the water's surface and becomes distressed if it accidentally falls off its float. File No. 141206 26-871 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
This Columbus crab, Planes minutus, was given to me by Guernsey commercial crab fisherman, Chris Marquis, who found it on a float covered with goose barnacles, Lepas anatifera, on 14 December 2006 near the islands of Herm and Sark in the Bailiwick of Guernsey. This individual was similarly coloured to Columbus crabs washed up on the south coast of England at the same time. This colour pattern differs to Columbus crabs that had arrived in Guernsey waters in previous years. This individual was photographed on a floating cuttlebone.

A gunnel, Pholis gunnellus, from Cow Bay near the entrance to St. Peter Port harbour. Gunnels are called butterfish in Guernsey because they are very difficult to pick-up due to their long slippery body. File No. 8-734 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
