the invertebrates of punta marenco

 

 

We had a great time climbing over the rocks and exploring the interesting organisms that can be found in oceanic tidepools.

        "Oswald" the octopus.  He's just a baby!

A sea cucumber we found buried under the sand.

 

Soak it up Mandy!

 

We found the tidepools to be home to many, many different invertebrates.

We discovered brittle stars, "Oswald" the octopus, a sea cucumber, crabs, snails and sea urchins just to name a few.

Beautiful palms growing on the ocean rocks.

A tropical paradise.
