LymeBay-Oct2011

Seasearch weekend in Lyme Bay blessed with glorious weather for my first visit here

Gorgeous anemones Trumpet anemones (Aptasia mutabilis) with more encrusted piddocks and what looks like a lurking baked-bean squirt (Dendrodoa grossularia, top left)	Gorgeous anemones Trumpet anemones (Aptasia mutabilis) - "nationally scarce but locally common", definitely the latter...!	Starfish in the wars A rather mangled Common starfish (Asterias rubens) re-growing arms...	More unobtrusive anemones... Isozoanthus sulcatus (peppercorn anemones) - very small but quite a distinctive colour...	Beady-eyed attention Well-disguised queen scallop (Aquipecten opercularis)
Fish! Badly-photographed fish - male (fg) and female (top) cuckoo wrasse (Labrus mixtus), lurking bib (Trisopterus luscus), showing why I don't normally bother to try to snap them!
