I got up early for a nice walk and a spot of rock pooling on Worthing beach at
9.30am. I walked from the Half Brick Pub to Worthing Pier and found some
stunning creatures.

On my 1st walk, I saw some 60+ Snakelock Anemones , about 20 common brown hermit
crabs, loads of squat lobsters, shrimps, porcelain crabs, loads of edible crabs,
shore crabs, European green crabs, the usual suspects.

To my great surprise I found one stunning brown Pipe Fish just before Worthing
Pier, I was so pleased and then just close by I found a very unusual white or
albino edible crab. Never seen one before, but he or she was stunning.

I also came across a rather strange looking slug / worm type of thing and a very
strange spiky thing, I though it might be an Urchin, the spikes are hard and
they do not pull back like a anemone, but they did move from side to side as I
touched them. So not to sure. If anyone can ID the spiky creature for me, please
do. See the Pic's below.

After my Worthing beach trip I wandered to the old pipe line on Lancing beach,
again saw some stunning stuff, a huge Place Fish just under the pipe, he then
swam out and a shore crab came to inspect him and he dashed off. I saw loads of
little blue fish in huge schools, at least 50+ European green and shore crabs
walking about on the sea bed. The water deep in the pipes was at least 1.5
meters deep, but crystal clear! I also found quite a lot of cuttle fish eggs.

All in all, a stunning day, just loved it. Please see the pic's below and ID the
ones I can not if you can. E-Mail me to: Jason@...
