Strange-looking sea creatures on National Geographic

The 2-foot-long (60-centimeter-long) fish is rather reclusive and not often seen, but blob sculpins have been known to dote on their young.

See it and other strange-looking sea creatures—including sea pens, dumbo octopus, and more—

Wind blowing the breakers away from the shore.

Here is a link to a page that has some unusual marine creatures

This is a really amazing stormy image - the text at the bottom is also interesting and emphasizes the importance of the perfect balance of nature.

Read this post and see how the writers opinion changes - I think its a good post!

An unusual find





It was a very low tide yesterday when we took our horses to the beach. We could access both cave areas via the front by walking on a small sandy beach instead of only throught the tunnel.

This is the first time we have been able to do this.

It was in this section that is not usually open to walk through, that my little sister found these creatures.

Not sure what they are.

They have a hard, brittle, transparent verticle half-shield on top. This half-shield has a raised crosshatch type of pattern. The underneath is some sort of limpet type creature but with a very blue jelly like substance including tentacles ?? Dont know if that describes it.

There were about 15-20 of them, but only in that area, on top of the sand. The tide only revealed that area for a very short time so it was not possible to do a full investigation and we had the horses with us.

Scottish Sea Life Sanctuary - Oban

I am so excited, my parents are taking us to see the Scottish Sea Life Sanctuary - Oban. We have been doing the fishing industry as our theme at school and so far we have only gotten to see dead fish and dead prawns other kids have brought in.

I love sea LIFE and all the different sea creatures - it will be so awesome to see sea creatures that are alive and have not been killed !
