Fluorescent hermit #crabs - one of the species we get locally glows under ultraviolet light, like many marine animals. Whether there’s any function to this is mostly unknown still.

So happy to have found this amazing rainbow #seaslug yesterday. They only started to appear in the UK in 2022 and this is the second time I’ve come across them - the colours are unreal.

Can you believe this tiny cushion star is just 1 cm in size? They are among the smallest and most colourful of all starfish and live in the upper shore #rockpools here in #Cornwall. The red spots on the very end of the arms are eyes!
