Gold!

  

Well, I think Eric took home today's prize for the prettiest intertidal zone photo.  He found a beautiful cluster of kamptozoans (Barentsia conferta) living at the base of some coralline algae.  It's an amazing field photo of some tiny animals each of the crowns (with the tentacles) in the photo above is only ~1 mm or less across. 

To learn a little more about kamptozoans, you can review these posts: "Tiny crowns" on 22 May 2020 and "Nodding heads" on 8 July 2012.

Nicely done, Eric!
