Sometimes when we're doing surveys, Eric has the camera while I'm writing field notes. So when I download the photos later, they mostly show the species we're monitoring, but every now and then Eric sneaks in a different photo (and doesn't tell me)...so it's a surprise!
Here's a fun one -- a cluster of golden fish eggs on the left side, and a pretty purple sponge with prominent excurrent pores on the right side (the excurrent pores are the large diameter holes where water is pushed out after being filtered for food).
Thanks for the colorful photo, Eric!
Photographed in the rocky intertidal zone in northern Sonoma County on 26 May 2024.
