Shockingly abundant here. Couldn’t believe how many there were
Found in Yaquina Bay Newport Oregon
6 bluish purple petals, 6 anthers, bilateral symmetry
European Green Crab with eggs
Two under a rock in the low intertidal. A species I’ve been targeting pretty hard since moving here, so I’m stoked. Lifer!!!
Not sure what this is. The docent showed me a brittle star in the touch tank. He said they got into the tank on their own. They managed to get in after being filtered through sand.
The docent I talked to said they were not added to the aquariums and got through their sand filter somehow so I did not label this one as captive.
