I think these are whelk eggs, possibly Lirabuccinum dirum?

FINALLY an adult to corroborate the corkscrew egg masses I've been finding.

Thank you (you know who you are) for the encouragement to keep on searching for this little one.

Have no idea what this is. Found under a rock at low tide.

Found on Calf Island on 12/11/2020, at dead low tide, low intertidal among red algal zone.

~ 4 cm long and 1.5 cm high

with eggs

Leg cleaning on a Jojoba leaf...

2 spotted? or a Diodora?
Honestly I don’t think I saw it at all when I took the photo.

I always see these low in the intertidal. I can't figure out what they are.

3000 observations.
Been waiting along time to find this little one. ~1cm
Thank you to my boys who let me play in the mud.

Multiple strands found.
Looking for the adults.
~1 inch long

Not really sure what this is, but there were quite a few on the eelgrass.

Dock Foul.

Tide pooling at -1'.

So small I didn’t know what it was until I saw my photo. Second one found on an abalone shell.

Not sure what this is- weird tips of the cerata, not matching three lined, rose pink or red fingers.

Solitary hydroid to the left of sea pen

In the process of laying eggs.

Population boom.

Lots 'o eggs and multiple adults

Paper thin

Unusually pale shell coloration.

Found in Haystack Rock Tidepools.

Others thought it was possibly a Janolus fuscus. However, I do not notice any orange on the tips of the cerata. Is it possible that this is a different variation?

The ones on the Owl Limpet, not the Owl itself.

rough limpet, Lottia scabra ?
Littorina sp.
