sealord > The small snails, Rissostomia membranacea, somehow remain attached to the leaves of eel grass, Zostera marina, even while the eel grass leaves are being pulled from one side to another by the surf and currents of the seashore. This gastropod was found on eel grass at the southern end of Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast and photographed on 5 November 2006 File No. 051106 18-869 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > This sea slug, Berthella plumula, was photographed at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast. Whereas many sea slugs visit the Guernsey shore seasonally to lay eggs this slug is seen on the shore at all times of year. I have seen it on every trip to the shore. It is usually found dry under a boulder or cobble and looks like a drop of jelly. The rhinophores are rarely visible. The body is covered in a reticulated pattern and there is a transparent area in the middle of the slug, which is said to resemble an excurrent opening (osculum) of the sponge it feeds on. This is thought to be the sponge, Oscarella sp., although some early researchers have written that the slug feeds on the star ascidian, Botryllus schlosseri.

sealord > The lesser sandeel, Ammodytes tobianus, often buries itself in the sand on the lower shore of the beach when the tide goes out. This one was lifted out of the sand with a fork by a recreational bait digger. Sandeels will rebury themselves if given the opportunity. This individual was captured and released near eel grass beds on the lower shore of Belle Greve Bay on 29 March 2006. File No. 36-823 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
