Nighttime in the Rockpools | Finding Sea Creatures, Live Shells, and Much More!

Описание: Live cowries, nudibranches, bubbles, oh my! Let's not forget the various slugs, corals (or sea anemones?), crabs and shrimp too... wow, what an absolutely magical place - it completely transforms after dark! Let me know which shell or creature was your favourite, and thanks for watching!

THANK YOU MR. SHELLER!! I must admit that I worry a lot about my safety while out at night; most beaches can be a little secluded at night, so there is always the thought that someone could grab me. Also, those rock pools would have been so much more challenging without Mr. Sheller's headlamp and company. Thank you so much for sharing the night to explore the rockpools with me!

Want to become a shell nerd too, or found something you want to ID?
Here's some useful links for local shellers:

Shells of SE Queensland: https://www.seqshells.com/seqmarine.php
(Some listings have multiple variations of a single shell species)

Shells of NSW: https://seashellsofnsw.org.au/General...
(Check out the illustrations or "plates" to try and match your finds)

Links for less local folks...
Check out the shell families on Femorale, it's a wonderful resource:
http://www.femorale.com/shellphotos/
(but doesn't include location information, so might lead to mis-identifications)

You can join this Facebook group for ID advice, just snap a photo and post it:

(Always take the advice/ID with some scepticism... these people are not experts)

You can also try the Conchology website, but it's a little harder to use:

Oh no, they're all scientific names? No worries, just type the scientific name
into the Queensland Museum Network database. It might have a common name listed!

(This works for non Australian shells too! Just check/click on the result to see limited info)
