Hermit Crab

The Hermit Crab is only one

of 600 species of its kind. They

primarily live on land. It does not

have a hard abdomen

like other crabs. To protect its

body, it has a shell. The shell

also collects water for the crab.

The crab always sheds its shell.

It sheds its shell when it

outgrows its shell.s

Chiton

A Chiton is a mollusk. It

is in a group called

Polyplacophora. It is a type of

sea snail.It has a soft and

squishy body. Its body is the

only protection it has.

Gooseneck Barnacle

The Gooseneck Barnacle

and its scientific name

Pedunculata are filter feeding

crustaceans. They are

attached to hard rocks

flotsam. Flotsams are shipwrecks.

They also live in the Intertidal

zone. It is on the shore where the

waves hit.

(Gooseneck

Barnacle)

Sculpin

Sculpin is a fish that is in the

superfamily called Cottoidea.

It is in the order of

Scorpaeniformes. Its only

one of 756 species! It is found in

both freshwater and saltwater.

(Sculpin)

Nudibranch

The Nudibranch is a type of marine gastropod mollusk.

Its scientific name is Nudibranchia. It lives deep

underwater. Its widely known for its extraordinary glow

in the dark color. Some Nudibranch are toxic. It

concentrates the toxins on its prey with its tentacles.

There are also more than 3,000 species of

nudibranch.

Sea Anemone

The sea anemone work together with clownfish. It catches

its prey when it touches its tentacles. The prey is

paralyzed and the anemone’s tentacles pull its food into

the anemone’s mouth. The sea anemone protects the

clownfish and the anemone eats the scraps the clown-

fish eats. They are as small as half an inch or as big as 6 feet.

They usually stick on a rock on the sea bottom or on coral reefs

Limpet

Limpets are molluscs (slug, snail, etc) with a

dome-shaped shell. Limpets are also herbivorous

that eat algae. The limpet’s teeth are super strong.

They are stronger than a spider’s web! Limpets are

usually 3-8 inches long. Patellogastropoda is the

scientific name for limpet.

Keyhole Limpet

Sea Star

Starfish or sea stars eat clams or oysters. They use

tiny suction cupped feel to break open the shell.

Then there stomach comes out from its mouth and

goes into the shell. Next, the stomach closes to digest it. The

starfish is close to the sea urchins and sand dollars.

They are also 12-24 cm. Asteroidea is the scientific name for

starfish.

Sugar Starfish

Mussel

Mussels are molluscs like the limpet. They also move

slow like a snail. Mussels only have one foot. They use

that foot by sticking their foot out and pull themselves

along. On the mussel’s shell, there are growth lines on

them like the tree trunk. The lines mean the years in the

mussel’s life.
