sealord > A close-up view of zooids of the bryozoan, Flustrellidra hispida, which was growing on the surface of the brown seaweed, serrated wrack, Fucus serratus, at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast on 1 August 2003. Some of the zooids have extended their lophophores (bell-shaped ring of ciliated tentacles) to feed. File No. 010803 13-682 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
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 attractive nudibranch, Polycera faeroensis, was photographed by hanging over the edge of a pontoon in the Queen Elizabeth 2 marina in St. Peter Port harbour on 26 September 2006. This is the first time I have seen this species in the marina. Previously I have seen this species in crab pots off Guernsey's south coast. File No. 260906 4-863 ©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 velvet swimming crab, Necora puber, is called a lady crab in Guernsey. These red-eyed crabs are fast moving and aggressive except during copulation when couples can be touched without any reaction. Necora puber lives under boulders and cobbles and will quickly move away when a stone is turned over. This individual was under a cobble in the cobble field to the east of what I call 'overhang gully' at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast. Photographed on the 29 April 2006.
