Limpets- It can clamp itself down on the rock face with pedal mucus

and its muscular ''foot''. When the tide is high, the foot is contracted,
allowing it to move around and graze the rock for algae. Their ability of
being able to clamp themselves to the rock, seals their shell edge
against the rock surface, protecting them from desiccation.
Sea Squirts- At low tide the Waratah Anemone looks like a small red
blob on crevices near rock pools. In this state it has all its tentacles
drawn in to minimise its exposure to the air while it waits for the return
of the tide.
Tube Worm- they have a shell made of calcium carbonate this provides
protection.
Brown algae- anchors allow them to stay in one place and not fl oat off
to places where the conditions may not be as advantageous to their
survival, waxy blades prevent them from drying up, pigment
fucoxanthin well adapted for absorbing wavelengths of light in their
environment to maximize effi ciency of photosynthesis reproduction by
fl agellate spores allow off spring to be anchored in places where the
environment is equally advantageous for their survival.

Periwinkle- it has a light coloured shell to refl ect the light from sun so
their body keep in the same temperature, it has a shell to protect their
body from being eaten by predators, it is small in size so its body
(shell) can fi t in rock platform fi ssure, it lives in rock platforms, far from
the beach to avoid waves.

Crabs: It has a hard shell for the protection of the crabs internal
organs. The crabs eyes are on protruding eyestalks so that the crab
can see front, back and sideways. The crabs antennae can sense
vibrations, smell and taste chemicals in the water to help detect prey
or predators it has chelipeds (pincers) for feeding, defence against
enemies and they use them for displaying to mates

Black nerites- Physical adaptations: Waterproof shells Shells

have spare space inside for holding water Shells have neat fi t to rock
or tightly closing openings Snail shells have smooth shapes that
reduce turbulent airfl ow and thereby lessen water loss Many fi xed
animals oysters, barnacles and tubeworms have white shells to
refl ect the suns rays. Behavioural adaptations: Mobile animals
stop moving when exposed They clamp their shells tight against the
rock Many move to wet, moist or shaded retreats as tide falls Fixed
animals close their shell openings or plug them tight.

Crayfi sh- Crayfi sh adapted eyes on short stems that move around,
allowing them to see in all directions just by turning the stems. They
also have two pairs of sensitive antennae that help detect movement in
the water as well as chemicals transmitted through the water, such as
that of a dead fi sh or a nearby potential mate. Instead of fertilizing
eggs immediately, female crayfi sh have adapted a way of storing sperm
until they're ready to lay eggs. Crayfi sh typically mate in the fall, but
the females don't lay eggs until the spring, when the babies have a
better chance of surviving in warmer weather. After mating, the
females store the eggs and sperm separately, then release them both
at the same time in the spring, at which time the sperm fertilizes the
eggs. The females hold the eggs under their bodies with their
swimmerets, or small, leg-like appendages that help them swim. The
babies hatch in a few weeks, then they stay with their moms for most
of the summer until they're big enough to survive on their own.
