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. File No. 200207 6762 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
The low tide of 20 February 2007 revealed eel grass, Zostera marina, beds in Belle Greve Bay. These beds stabilise the beach. Within and underneath these eel grass beds there are razor clams, otter shells, sea potatoes and mask crabs. Many molluscs feed and lay their eggs on the eel grass leaves. Sea spiders, crabs, shrimp and sea anemones live in amongst the plants. Photographed at 1503 on 20 February 2007. File No. BG 200207 6617 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
I believe these long spined sea scorpion, Taurulus bubalis, eggs were laid sometime during the 4th or 5th of February 2007. These eggs were photographed on 5 February 2007 in 'crater' rock pool in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast (See http://sealord.smugmug.com/gallery/1984411#127980518 ). I visited this pool during the afternoon of 4th February and although I examined the boulder on which they were laid I did not see the eggs but found them the following day. The eggs were laid near the lower edge of the boulder under overhanging tufts of coralline algae, Corallina officinalis. I found three adult long-spined sea scorpions in this rock pool on the 4th and 5th of February. File No. 050207 6329 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
A monach cowrie, Trivia monacha, glides over the surface of a boulder in a 'crater rock pool' (See http://sealord.smugmug.com/gallery/1984411#127980518 ) in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast. Photographed on 4 February 2007. File No. 040207 6052 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
This large furrowed crab, Xantho incisus, was photographed in 'crater rock pool" (See http://sealord.smugmug.com/gallery/1984411#127980518 ) in Belle Greve Bay on 4 February 2007. The width of the animal including the heavy claws was about 10 cm. I photographed it on 4 February 2007. File No. 040207 6060 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
A palaemonid prawn hides under a ledge in a rock pool in Belle Greve Bay. The tip of the rostrum of this prawn is missing. Palaemonid shrimp or prawns (the names are interchangable) are abundant in Belle Greve Bay. They seem to co-exist very well with the numerous intertidal fish species in the bay. They are good scavengers cleaning up after others. Photographed on 4 February 2007. File No. 040207 6045 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
