It was a beautiful morning out on Waties.
Although we did not have any sea turtle activity, we did see some interesting beach life.
The first thing we saw was a Red Beard Sponge.
Then, a Noble Sea Cucumber. It is in the same family as sand dollars and sea urchins.
The “aquarium” (a large washed up metal bin on the beach that is often full of water) was also back, filled with anemones and some sort of seaweed.
We found a small Hitchhiker anemone washed up that wasn’t even attached to anything. It must have gotten knocked off of something.
Lastly, we found a little Atlantic Sand Crab.
