Someone showed me this blog because I'm a scientist who sequences stuff for a living but joke's on them because I'm quite neutral about genetic sequences in my off hours; what I do really like are moths.

Tide Pool
taken at Laguna Beach, California
This tiny pool was maybe 4 or 5 inches deep but full of a variety of species! Its a great example of how diverse tide pools can be. If you look in the upper left there's a crab molt, to the right and bottom there's several California Mussels, just above the mussels on the left is a clam, and there's even a neat limpet in the mix!
