We've been busy doing surveys in the field during the low tides recently, but here's an isopod photo from back in February -- a Blunt-tailed Isopod (Idotea urotoma) photographed in the low intertidal zone.
Among other things in the photo, you can see pale pink crustose coralline algae, a small iridescent snail, Lirularia sp., and a darker pink and red bryozoan (Integripelta bilabiata, formerly Eurystomella).
There's so much going on here!
ReplyDeleteWhat is that thing that looks like a transparent worm, to the left of the Isopod?
Hi, Alice!
ReplyDeleteIn the upper left corner of the image, there is a pinkish/transparent worm-like thing. I think it's probably a flatworm, but I'm not 100% sure. I didn't notice it in the field, so otherwise might have been able to see other characteristics or behaviors that would have provided more clues, but I think flatworm is a good guess!
