East Coast - Worms in the walls.

I must say the walls are fascinating, practically crawling with life. The beach also has small patches of rocky areas revealing strange hidden life.


This lonely mudskipper was the only fish I saw.




Many porcelain crabs lie hidden under rocks.


As did this bivalve.




Multitudes of climbers and tiny crabs nestle in the walls.




The onchs too made a strong showing.










Worms wind their way through the encrustations on the wall.


Many such moths frequent the walls as well.




Spiders occasionally turn up.




Tiny nems sandwich themselves between the barnacles.


As did this tiny chiton.


A lonely cave coral making a living at one of the rocky patches.


The zoanthids seem to be doing well.




These flatworms look like the roofs of people's mouths scraped onto the rocks.










A fat bristleworm (about 8cm long) floundered on the beach.




Fish eggs, aren't they adorable?




Ria found this fish holed up in an empty shell on the wall.




Drill snails, some quite large.


A mysterious snail-like organism.




Even the newly laid patch of small rocks had these crustaceans hiding under them.


The sea slaters are enormous.


what's a beach without the obligatory ghost crab.


And mysterious blob.
