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!
