While surveying the muck flats at Penn Cove, I noticed one of the Horse clam long necks gyrating wildly
with something sticking out of its siphon. Upon closer examination, I found that it was a Pea crab, which
usually lives inside the clam. This looked like the clam is trying to get rid of the crab. I asked Greg, our
"in house" crab expert, what was happening there :

another encounter:

Thank you Greg !

I was just looking at the last few pages you've put up -- I love the attention that the small and "ordinary" get. There is SO much life down there that most of us just swim over and don't think about, but you make us stop and look!

These guys and the elusive Manacled Sculpin are my nemesis, both finding and especially photographing.

Kudos on wonderful shots of both!

Still struggling for survival. As long as I keep finding wasting stars, I worry about the survival of the new arrivals...

I don't come across these guys often ...

Family wide angle safari.
