Sark-July2011

P1013776 Golfball sponge (Tethya citrina)	P1013785 Another typical Sark collection - centre is a sunset cup coral (Leptopsammia pruvoti)	P1013791 More sunset cup corals (Leptopsammia pruvoti)	P1013792 Even more sunset cup corals (Leptopsammia pruvoti)	P1013793 Pink sea fan (Eunicella verrucosa) with well-camouflaged PSF nudibranch (Tritonia nilsodhneri)
P1013799 Homaxinella subdola sponge - like the more common staghorn sponge (Axinella dissimils) but with a very thin 'stalk'	P1013804 Nationally-scarce Axinella damicornis sponge - crumpled silt-covered duster!	P1013806 Seven-armed starfish (Luidia ciliaris) moving very rapidly (must be the additional arms...)	P1013810 The unfortunately-named boring sponge (Cliona celata) - bores into soft rocks, not dull...!	P1013819-cropped Limacia clavigera nudibranch feeding on Electra pilosa bryozoan on kelp
P1013820 Spiny starfish (Marthasterias glacialis)	P1013831 Spectacular Sabella spallanzanii fan worm	P1013832 Spectacular Sabella spallanzanii fan worm	P1013834 Spectacular Sabella spallanzanii fan worm	P1013837 Burrowing anemone Pachycerianthus indet. 'Dorothy' (in gravel rather than the muddy substrates where fireworks anemones, P. multiplicatus, are usually found)
P1013844 Somewhat out-of-focus (the tide was really starting to run by now!) white version of a pink sea fan (Eunicella verrucosa) with the normal pink type behind	P1013847 Pink sea fan (Eunicella verrucosa) with attached egg cases	P1013850 BANG! This little incident nearly gave us all heart failure. It was pretty damn hot in the sun on the boat...	P1013867 The tunnel through the Gouliot Caves (last through so lots of stirred-up sediment)	P1013868 Gouliot Caves are all about the anemones - here's a wall full of Sagartia elegans (elegant anemones)
