Tidepool with shells in it among other stuff. Shell in middle has two holes with a hermit crab sticking out of each one. The top crab is all black while the bottom one has orange legs and blue eyes.

Have not seen this before. It's apparently a hermit crab duplex! There are crabs in openings at either end of the odd-shaped shell. Although the upper one doesn't look so good... 🦀

A drying tidepool scene: Rockweed’s (Fucus gardneri) browny-yellow inflated sacks are on the lower left, sundry caked seaweeds mixed with limpets and small snails and hermit crabs fill the other corners, and a solitary aggregating anemone (Anthopleura elegantissima) looks out like a green eye with a pink iris in the top middle left of the photo.

The tide was really low today, and because it was sunny a lot of the seaweed had gone crispy on the rocks and everything that could hide, had really hidden. The few anemones I found looked morose and squashy instead of plump dense tucked-tight mounds. #tidepool #SalishSea

I found this tide pool next to Cardiff State Beach at sunrise.

Two Mugman posts I did back during the Mugmay event. Worked as a tidepool educator for a while and applied it to the Mugbeard drawing. #cuphead #thecupheadshow #mugman #cupheaddontdealwiththedevil #cupheaddlc #renewthecupheadshow #cartoonist #cupheadshow #mugbeard #tidepool

A tiny hermit crab is bullied and knocked upside-down. No worries, though, as she gets back up and then pulls her house back over her head for protection! 🦀🦑

A fine art nude photograph of a woman lying on her belly in a shallow tide pool. Her body is partially submerged in clear water, surrounded by rocky textures, sea anemones, and coastal light. The image evokes themes of nature, femininity, and the relationship between the human form and the natural world.

Where the ocean meets the shore, she becomes part of the landscape — skin and stone, tide and light

No idea what all this stuff is, but it's super cool. 🦀🦑

Close up in a tidepool of a brown blenny fish that looks like an adorable alien with wings and giant eyes.

I submit this blenny from Maui as the cutest thing on Bluesky today. Post a pic in the comments to prove me wrong!

A Grey Sea Slug, Aeolidia papillosa, prowling through a Shetland Rockpool on the hunt for a tasty anemone (at 2x speed). Also known as the Shag Rug Nudibranch, because.....well just look at it!

One of our cutest rockpooling finds recently. Those rhinophores are definitely giving sea bunny. This guy was just sliding along the bottom of a shallow pool out in the open.

Highly colorful mollusk shells in grey, pink, blue and green clinging to a rock above the water in a tidepool.

Mother Nature - the undisputed best artist in the world (other than my wife). These are 'Opihi, from Maui. Gorgeous.

A dream find, only our 3rd up here in as many years.

Nudibranchs or sea slugs are the absolute highlight for us when exploring our shores.

A colour illustration of life in a rock pool. A velvet swimming crab, with a brown body an red eyes has its claws up. There are two brightly coloured (one orange, one pink) anemones on the wall of the rock pool, and two common prawns are swimming around above.

Sharing this because it's Wednesday and why not. One of the many vibrant illustrations from L.R. Brightwell's 'Sea-shore life of Britain', 1947 📖BE.30/B

When the ocean is your backyard #GreenSat takes on a bit of fun. How about a giant green anemone, Anthopleura xanthogrammica for #ColorOfTheDay?

Close up of a face of a blenny in a coral-filled tidepool. The face is adorable and looks totally alien with two cute horns/antennae on top. She is mostly brown with some green dots.

Vertical shot of the tidepool along the shore of Coos Bay with thousands of kelp crabs stuck in the deep end of a large tidepool. A mud flat is exposed in the background at low tide.

Hundreds of kelp crabs, resembling small spider crabs, hanging out in a tidepool; they have a smooth, hexagonal carapace with spines at the corners, and long legs. These are all a darkish brown color.

Incredible tidepooling experience: last week in Coos Bay Oregon I saw thousands of northern kelp crabs (Pugettia productus) with @paleowin.bsky.social, all huddled in a large #tidepool. I have no idea what was happening. Bonus fossil scallop if you can find it 🦀🦑🧪

Banded coral shrimp with her orange and white stripes and a million arms and antennae hanging in a coral reef.

When I was in school, other kids called me a shrimp. Ha! I wish I was this cool.

A little hermit crab tv for your weekend! A sweet pink shell on this one (plus a tiny agate near his starting point) wait - is he a sea dragon guarding a treasure hoard?
