Swimming animals

There are some animals you shouldn’t touch or handle at all, including all species of fish. The Sculpin fish have a special mucus membrane over their scales, which protect them from disease. If you touch a fish, you might take off that protective coating. Remember, you can still learn a great deal about the fish by observing them in their natural habitat without touching them.

Rock Clinging Animals

Sea stars look rough and sturdy but they are fragile like most other tide pool animals! Like sea anemones, sea stars also stick to rocks, clams, and the sea floor. If you pick them up this could tear off the tiny tube feet they use to hold onto things and to move around. You can touch a sea star with two fingers and feel its rough endoskeleton, but please never pull one off of any surface!

Walking animals Walking animals in the tide pool are fine to touch or handle as long as you return the to where they were found. It may be more difficult to find hermit crabs considering they usually hide out under big rocks. If you are lucky to spot one treat them with care, and remember they can pinch you. Stay close to the ground when you hold a hermit crab, in case you drop it. If you want to pick one up keep your hands over or in the water. Always return hermit crabs gently back to where you found them to ensure its safety.
