That is hilarious. I wonder why they're bunched up next to the anemones, which I don't believe they eat. I sometimes see congregations like this next to mussel beds, but they do eat mussels.

That is great, Steve. Very bizarre indeed.

John, Thanks. I really do see the humor in the image and find it hard to take seruously.

It could be a giant green eyed octopus wearing a starfish necklace. Well it could be....Yes you do see strange things in tidepools, don't pick up any sea hares, unless you like mucusy purple hands.Now something strange sees you. Great Find Steve,

Paul, what in the world is a sea hare? I'll have to look that up and know it!

This is an under the sea masquerade mask.

I once had a dog that looked at me with eyes like this. A great bit of natural serendipity. A beautiful and entertaining capture.

Reminds me of the giant keyhole limpet I stumbled across the other day. I wasn't able to make anything out of it, but I like what you managed to capture here. I like the whimsical nature of this... nice find!
