Shore squat lobster, Galathea squamifera, in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast on 5th January 2007
The shore squat lobster, Galathea squamifera, is abundant under boulders and cobbles along Guernsey's rocky sea-shore. They usually flip their powerful tails (abdomen) to propel themselves away when they are disturbed. This individual had darted away from a boulder I turned over and sought shelter at the base of a tuft of algae in a Belle Greve Bay rock pool.
Photographed on 5th January 2007.

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.
