The dahlia anemone, Urticina felina, grows attached to the side of some of the fish quay pontoons in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey, Channel Islands. The dahlia anemone is constantly immersed in the sea as the pontoons rise and fall with the tide.  The pontoons attached to the fish quay are bathed in fresh seawater entering the harbour mouth. I have not seen dahlia anemones in the QE II marina, which is separated from the sea by a weir at low tide.

It is extraordinary how a huge ship can disappear from view in sea fog on a bright sunny day.  Tiny droplets of water completely obscured the bulk of the R Two as it travelled south in the Little Russell - the passage between the islands of Guernsey and Herm on 30 July 2000.

This well camouflaged juvenile female Liocarcinus arcuatus crab was found in the eel grass beds at extreme low water in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast.  R.W. Ingle in his book "British Crabs" gives this crab a common name of 'arch fronted swimming crab' but common names are not well established for many crab species.  This individual has a carapace or shell width of 10.0 mm.  This image was taken with a Canon S80 with an underwater housing.  I have taken close-up film images too, which will be available soon.   Collected and photographed on the 20 February 2007.

I believe this large oyster is the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas.  It had a width of between 10 and 12 cm.  It was fixed to bedrock in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast.  It was photographed on the 20 February 2007.  Pacific oysters were grown commercially a few miles away.  This wild oyster most likely derived from the reproduction of the farmed oysters nearby.  Photographed on the 20 February 2007.

This long-spined sea scorpion, Taurulus bubalis, remained still while I took numerous photographs with a compact digital camera in an underwater housing.  It had a parasitic isopod, Anilocra frontalis, attached to the right side of its body behind the pectoral fin.  The picture shows that the fish appears to be sloughing off its skin.  I do not know if this a consequence of the parasitic isopod.  This member of the sculpin family was revealed when I turned over a boulder it was hinding under.  Photographed in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast on 19 February 2007.
