And -what do you think the orange, liquid-looking stuff is?
Answers (sort of): The grey thing is a casement made by the Moon Snail that contains snail eggs, sand and mucus. It sure looks like an old tire to me. Amazing. There were oodles of these at low tide at the Des Moines (WA) Beach on Puget Sound yesterday when Dave and I took advantage of having beach naturalists show us the teeming life under our feet and in tide pools! The green stuff is called Sea Lettuce. In the second photo, the orange stuff is colonies of some organisms of which neither Dave nor I can remember the name. I did touch a star fish and some of the vegetation, but not this orange stuff!
