Hermit4

Maybe this should have been titled: What we could find on the Shore if we were as amazing at finding creatures as Jan…especially highly camouflaged creatures that look exactly like the seaweed they are on and are only up to a centimetre long: stalked jellyfish and nudibranchs…Jan has even managed to find a nudibranch that is currently on a world tour of marine biologists to be identified, and has no official name…yet…but watch this space, or better still follow its progress on the Coastwise FaceBook page…Jan also showed us incredibly clear and enviably steady videos including one of a hermit crab getting rather reluctantly into its shell, which was so popular we asked for an encore…

A reminder that the grim days of winter will soon be over, and it'll be time to get down to the seaside !

Come out of your shells !
