Once a week, I volunteer at the Two Oceans Aquarium, at the microscope display. It’s always a bit of a surprise what you’ll find in the bowls. This one contains, among other creatures
- Anemone (not sure what kind, the thing like a golden chrysanthemum in the middle there)
- A Pycnogonida, or scarlet sea spider with egg pouches (see him just above the anemone)
- A Red chested sea cucumber (little dude on the left that looks like a chilli with a moustache)
- Golden sea cucumber, (peachy thingimajig bottom left)
- Feather star (bristly person upper right)
- Several barnacles
- Nudibranch (not really visible against the left edge)
- Billions of brine shrimp all over the place
