The tides were good this weekend and so we went out to Gylly (Gyllyngvase) Beach in Falmouth, specifically the rocks to the west of the beach (I normally go to Castle Beach to the east):

Although the tide was quite low, no special sublittoral species were encountered, but everything time you go out you still see something new. For instance, a newly moulted Furrowed crab, Xantho incisus pink and soft next to its old brown carapace:

There were very many small Blue-rayed limpets Helcion pellucidum (see also here) on the kelp:

A tiny Rissoa parva snail:

and a Painted top shell Calliostoma zizyphinum:

Some dark green Cladophora rupestris:

A fine red seaweed (I do not know which one) growing on top of Dulse Palmaria palmata growing in turn on top of kelp:
