sealord > This photograph of a small stone from Belle Greve Bay, Guernsey covered in crustose coralline algae shows various holes.  The larger dark holes are made by the polychaete worm Polydora sp., which is in the family spionidae.  These burrowing or tube-forming worms have long filaments or palps attached to the head, which extend out of the holes they make.  A pair of palps can be seen in the upper right-hand corner of the image.  They appear as thin white lines. The smaller holes ringed with white are reproductive structures of the red algae.

sealord > Two black striped white 'candy striped' flatworms, Prostheceraeus vittatus, can be seen in the lower left of the image under the orange sponge. The blue sponge, Terpios fugax, can be seen on the right side just below the middle of the image.  The erect coralline algae, Corallina officinalis, grows around the orange sponge and foliose coralline algae grows over the rock below.

This image was taken in Belle Greve Bay  on Guernsey's east coast in a rock pool I have named 'crater rock pool' for reference purposes  (See  http://sealord.smugmug.com/gallery/1984411#127980518 ).  Photography on 4 February 2007.
