The jellyfish was at Rosario Beach in Deception Pass State Park |
The moon snail was in a touching pool at the PTMSC. It's about ten inches long. These snails eat clams and cruise through the sand with only the top of the shell visible. When they find a clam they wrap themselves around it and drill a hole in the clam's shell to get at the goodies inside. All you gardeners should be thankful that these are not a terrestrial species. |
Most keyhole limpets have a commensal worm living inside the shell. This photo shows the worm which is about as long as the limpet. |
The sunflower star was also at the PTMSC. By seastar standards these guys are fast - maybe four or five meters per hour. |
