A few stills from my afternoon session with these Grey Sea Slugs.
At first I thought I'd found one of the other similar species when spying the paler one, but it's Y marking on its head confirms Aeolidia papillosa.

A Grey Sea Slug, Aeolidia papillosa, prowling through a Shetland Rockpool on the hunt for a tasty anemone (at 2x speed). Also known as the Shag Rug Nudibranch, because.....well just look at it!

One of our cutest rockpooling finds recently. Those rhinophores are definitely giving sea bunny. This guy was just sliding along the bottom of a shallow pool out in the open.

Facelina auriculata from a Rockpool near Lerwick, Shetland.
A dream find, only our 3rd up here in as many years.
Nudibranchs or sea slugs are the absolute highlight for us when exploring our shores.

A colour illustration of life in a rock pool. A velvet swimming crab, with a brown body an red eyes has its claws up. There are two brightly coloured (one orange, one pink) anemones on the wall of the rock pool, and two common prawns are swimming around above.
Sharing this because it's Wednesday and why not. One of the many vibrant illustrations from L.R. Brightwell's 'Sea-shore life of Britain', 1947 📖BE.30/B

Salad of baby beetroot, pickled onion, grilled zucchini, farro, feta & white beans #NeilPerry #Rockpool was tasty but - in hindsight - not a Tuesday night dish 😂 #homegrown zucchini, beetroot, garlic & parsley #mymenuplan

A European Cowrie in a Shetland Rockpool under UV light
A beadlet anemone and a grey topshell in a Shetland Rockpool under UV light
Some Rockpool critters under UV light from night session in Shetland this evening. The Sea Spider just glowed, and the pink from the Cowrie is fantastic.

It's been a super busy few weeks, working on lots of exciting new projects but I can now show you this new Mussels and Seaweeds painting l've been working on...

🪨Sea urchins can be spotted carrying around objects, like rocks and shells!🐚
🤔Some theories for this put it down to camouflage from predators🐟, or protection from the sun's UV rays☀️

Common brown #shrimp (Crangon crangon) of potted shrimp fame. Masterclass in camouflage: only saw this dashing fellow when light was right. Quick, too: darted away (almost) every time camera came near. Not like #rockpool shrimp below, which seek out your hand like buffet table! Morar Bay, Scotland
💀Check out these spooky sea creatures🎃
🦐 Lots of marine animals, especially ones found in rockpools glow under uv light! 🔦Why not grab a headtorch, wrap up and head down to a local rockpool and see what you can find? 🦀

This jaunty little fellow sat rather obligingly for a #rockpool portrait this past summer. Who'd have guessed these tiny common hermit #crabs (Pagurus bernhardus) are genetically closer to huge king crabs than to typical shore crabs like in post below? At Portnaluchaig near Arisaig, Morar, Scotland.
This striking and rather handsome #seaweed is Polyides rotunda, a type of forkweed. It's a red #alga, so taxonomically a plant. Easily the loveliest and most elegant of the seaweeds I saw on holidays in Scotland this past summer. This one in a #rockpool on the beach at Achaidh Mhoir, near Morar.
💡Wisdom Wednesday💡
Have you noticed the grey and purple stripes around the shell of a purple topshell? 🐚 Did you know that these stripes fade as the snail gets older! 🐌

A photo of a tiny red marine creature. A funnel shaped truck is attached by a sucker to some red algae. Up top, seven short arms extend outwards.
Yesterday myself and @wildlifetoursed.bsky.social headed to Gore point near Porlock for some long overdue ride pooling session.. Several awesome new to us species were observed.
First up was my Stalked jellyfish find, possibly Calvadosia campanulata. 1/3

Another #rockpool #seaweed that belongs taxonomically plants, but which looks like coral, is this coralline red #alga. Like pink forms below, needs microscopy to identify to species. I find variety of these algal life-forms astonishing, and often strikingly beautiful. Port nam Murrach, near Arisaig.
1/2 Circling back to Scottish #rockpool shrimp as promised below. Curious little creatures: they'll manicure your hand by removing dead skin with tiny claws if you keep still! Feels like nothing more than barely perceptible tickle. Principle genus is Palaemon, with two common species: P elegans and…

Exposed by low-tide, a small cluster of limpets around a rock pool, with wet green seaweed on the yellow limestone. A wide aperture setting was used to keep focus on the limpets, softening the surrounds.
A wander along to Souter Point, South Tyneside. Eschewing the lighthouse for the shoreline :-)
Limpets waiting for the returning tide. #nature #naturalWorld #Shoreline #rockpool #limpet #photography #coastal
Recent beautiful autumn weather & spring low tides makes for a great chance to find wonderful #rockpool creatures - like these blue-rayed limpets, tiny cushions star (both less than 1 cm in size) and star ascidians.

As per nested posts below, some #rockpool #seaweeds are taxonomically plants. Some just look like it. Yet others are plants despite looking like coral: e.g. encrusting, calcified red #algae. These two belong to 'lithothamnia' group requiring microscopy to identify. Camusdarach, Highland, Scotland.
@lucidillusions.in If you would do the crabby honours please to boost to the crab feed? 😊 Also, if anyone knows what the pale-green incrustation on the rocks is, I'd be really interested? #marinebiology #rockpool #Orkney #crab #seaweed
A sunny rock pool next to a large expanse of water with a tiny island and landmass on the blurred horizon. On the edge of a pool on a crumpled rock are two Sylvanian Families babies. Pickle, a grey striped cat baby, has their back to the camera as they stare out at the tiny island. A tiny cradled black cat baby looks sideways into the distance. It's Reggie!
No shiny shells here, but the sun is sparkly.

An extreme close-up of a tiny cradled Sylvanian Families black cat baby standing on worn stones with more extremely blurred stones in the background.
Today we are rock pool-ing. It means climbing over rocks next to the sea and looking for things in the water.
