Popular Post Zephyr Posted June 28, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted June 28, 2020 Yes, I set the title up on a platter for parodies..... For the first time in a long time I took the camera set up for photos on a dive today, I normally have it set for video. I took a few pictures so for those of you who are 'dry-landers' here are a few critters living just beneath the waves Plumose Anemones. They stand about 15" high. They are actually an animal not a plant and catch things in the frilly top and pull it into their mouth which is located at the top middle. (You can see the indentation on the background ones) The white things near the ground are actually tube worms A swimming scallop about two inches across. He is open and you can see his orange and white 'lips' that are actually the outer layer of their organs. The little black dots you see rimming the top and bottom are actually eyes. They have like 32 sets of eyes. They detect more light and darkness changes as opposed to 'seeing'. A rock scallop. Unlike the swimmers they are attached and do not move around. They are also much bigger, this guy was around 8 inches across 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zephyr Posted June 28, 2020 Author Popular Post Share #2 Posted June 28, 2020 A sea anemone, a bit different than the plumous. The tentacles have small nematocysts to stung prey to pull into the mouth. If you touch one edge it will try to pull your finger in. About 14 inches tip to tip across A small sea slug, about an inch long. Think garden snail with no shell 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
