rocky intertidal right at sea level—
3 individuals seen (don’t think I got photos of others) and 2 egg ribbons (separate observation)
thanks to @juliabohemian for showing me the area to look in
Stranded out of the water pretty high on the beach shortly before a .9 ft low tide. Really surprised to see 2 with the tide being that high.
Crabbed. I keep picking up tiny ones hoping it’s a red turban but I’m too far south I guess. 😞🤷🏻♀️
I have never seen one of these! One of the kids found it in a big tide pool! None of the iNaturalist suggestions look anything like it.
Is this acceptable? None of my stills of this intertidal octopus were very great so I thought I'd try a gif, which I've seen others do here before.
Six woodlice (all Porcellio scaber) found infected. All living among crevices on the same redwood tree.
