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

sealord > On 14 December 2006 Guernsey crab fisherman, Chris Marquis, potting for edible crabs, Cancer pagurus, found a buoy covered in goose barnacles, Lepas anatifera, floating in the sea in the Big Russell - a passage between the islands of Herm and Sark in the Bailiwick of Guernsey. In amongst the mass of goose barnacles he saw a Columbus crab, Planes minutus, which he gave to me. I kept the crab in an aquarium. On 23 December 2006 on the strand-line of the sea shore of the north-east coast of Guernsey I collected a rubber Kito Sports sandal, size 44, covered in small goose barnacles. The crab lived on this goose barnacle-covered sandal for a number of days before the barnacles began to die.

This crab also known as a Sargassum, Gulf weed or turtle crab, lives on flotsam and under the carapace of some turtles in the North Atlantic. A few of these crabs turn up towards the end of the year in the western English Channel. A number of these crabs washed up on the south coast of England at the same time.
