Sighting Info
Observed: March 3, 2018 @ 4:20 PM Posted on: March 5, 2018 @ 1:24 AM (diff: 1 days) Comments: Several rhodoliths (subspherical growths of coralline algae) were washed up, bleached from exposure. Upon splitting one rhodolith, I found that a brittle star had apparently moved into the growth when it could fit inside, only to be entombed when the algal growth washed up. A few tiny and unidentified clams suffered the same entombment.
