The hydroid, candelabrum cocksii, attached to a boulder on the lower sea-shore at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast. Photographed on 22 August 2001. This is one of the most unusual and exotic species I have seen on the Guernsey seashore. This hydroid feeds on small crustaceans such as tanaids and amphipods. The cells lining the column contain stinging cells, which immobilise the small crustacean prey. The column greatly elongates and wraps around the prey to immobilise and disgest it.
File No. 18-497

Sealord photography's biodiversity images began with a focus on international commercial seafood species and the marine life of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, Great Britain.
Sealord photography has a growing collection of digital images covering climate change, the environment and sustainability issues.
Sealord photography also covers the Guernsey community and particularly the fund raising activities of Guernsey charities as part of the island's social sustainability.
The fish, shellfish and marine life images would not be possible if it were not for the generosity of commercial and recreational fishermen in Guernsey, and seafood suppliers at various trade shows in the USA, and wholesalers at Fulton Fish Market in New York City.
Many marine biologists have helped identify or confirm the identity of marine species photographed. These people have been mentioned when possible.
