Rocky shore inhabitants in Stanley Bay


A rock pool teemed with rock oysters (Saccostrea cucullata) and seaweeds (phylum Chlorophyta)

Lipped top shell (Monodonta labio), a common grazer feeding on algae found in rocky shore.


A cluster of turban shells (Lunella coronata) feed on encrusted alage in a rock pool)
