WEST SEATTLE WILDLIFE: Today’s low-low-tide sights, and what’s ahead Saturday

Thanks to Rosalie Miller for sharing three sights from today’s low-low-tide – above, the siphon of a Piddock Clam; below, a Moon Snail:

And an Anemone:

Tomorrow the tide will bottom out at -2.3 feet at 12:27 pm. The Seattle Aquarium volunteer beach naturalists are scheduled to be at Lincoln Park (8011 Fauntleroy Way SW) and Constellation Park (60th SW/Beach Drive SW) for the last time this season, 11 am-1:30 pm.

    Fabulous detail! Recently saw and really enjoyed ‘Marcel the Shell with Shoes On’ so the moon snail was especially enjoyable. I admire and appreciate your talent!

    Re: moon snails – I wondered what these things were that looked like garbage on the beach several years ago – old tires or something. They are moon snail egg collars! https://themarinedetective.com/2021/08/11/stop-thats-not-garbage-moon-snail-egg-masses/
