Hi friends
Today I bring you these animals that only come out of their shell when the sea surrounds them, meanwhile they hide in their shell.
Animals do not appear as we are used to because we cannot see them except under water.
When the tide goes out they hide from our eyes, looking like strange things and from another planet.
We can appreciate the shape of its shell and almost see a mouth that will open at the appropriate time to eat its food.
These beings have colonized this rock, stuck to each other like a colony.
Some are already dead, it is where we appreciate the holes without that characteristic cross of their mouth that is removed when the water brushes their shells, they filter the precious liquid and feed on the microscopic things that the great sea has.
They do not move, they remain static clinging to the rock, which makes the macro perfect.
A great opportunity to photograph them and to know that there are many different and varied beings in the world.
The sea is a great unknown, with very varied animals, some very large, the largest on the planet and also the most minuscule, which are usually the food of the big ones.
A part of our planet that has yet to discover its wonders and that amazes us every day.
It shows a renting relationship always in shallow coastal areas. Although it can be sporadically out of the water. With its body completely covered by a grayish-white shell or carapace that protects it. Always colonizes stones, rocks, shells, poles, and all manner of shoreline objects, often above the tide line, in the splash zone. Its body is conical in shape and approximately one centimeter high, formed by 6 plates, it is fixed to the rocks or the subject by the base.wikipediaIts stony shell can measure from millimeters to 5 or 10 centimeters; The active life of the organism can only be observed underwater, when the shell opens and two branched appendages emerge from its white covers that regularly churn the waters to capture food.
In its shell, its body is visualized by the operculum that gives way to cirri, and resembles an octopus beak. It feeds on plankton that enter through the operculum, being dragged by the water current of its cirrus clouds, it is found in multiple rocky areas, inhabiting practically all the seas.
