sealord > 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.
