At 6 o'clock, we have Ceratium, a type of Dinoflagellate. Going anti-clockwise, to the right is a Radiolarian, then next to that is Cyanobacteria (Blue Green Algae), followed by Seaweed at 9 o'clock. Asteroidea (Starfish) are at 1 o'clock and the rest are a mystery to me! Thanks to the help of old friend, Dr. Jonathan Tyler from the Natural History museum for helping with identifying these organisms!
What a lovely sight to behold! California sealion pups playing with a Loggerhead Turtle whilst a Dugong sucks on a candycane!
