Other comments:   There are also a few eyelash worms and one or two short peacock worms sticking straight out on the sea bed. There are the usual hermits and harbour crabs and also some langoustine and the odd edible crab. Tiny decorator crabs wave their claws at you, and I also came across a slender and a phosphorescent sea pen. A pleasant dive with quite a lot of small life, just what you would expect with this sort of habitat.
