Tufts Of Grass
These rocks are in the splash zone for the ocean, but would never be covered. Somehow the grass has a footing. This image looks somewhat like a photo of a roof. John Harvey Photo > Botanical Beach > Tufts Of Grass

Aggregate Green Anemone
This one was way under a rock so I don't think it gets as much light and consequently had less alegae and green color. Species: Anthopleura elegantissima (Aggregating Anemone, Clonal Anemone)

Giant Green Anemone
These aren't as tolerant of drying out as the smaller Aggregate Green Anemone so you have to shoot through more water to see them. Species: Anthopleura xanthogrammica (giant green anemone)

Knot Around Anchor
This is Bull Kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) that has been dislodged from the bottom (you can see the anchor in the lower right hand corner of the frame) and become knotted and then washed into shore. This plant is an annual - it dies every winter. Species: Nereocystis luetkeana (Bull Kelp)

Mazzaella something, probably Mazzaella splendens. These plants are iridescent so the colors change as you move the camera around. It's also extremly slipery if you step on it. John Harvey Photo > Botanical Beach > Rainbow-leaf

Mussels And Barnacles
Probably California Mussels (Mytilus californiensis), growing in with Leaf Barnacle (Pollicipes polymerus). These two spieces usually have large homogenous colonies - so it looks like the Mussels are overgrowing the Barnacle colony. Species: Mytilus californianus (California mussel), Pollicipes polymerus (Goose Barnacle or Goose Neck Barnacle)

Pollicipes polymerus, sometimes called goose barnacle or goose neck barnacle. These usually grow in clumps. Species: Pollicipes polymerus (Goose Barnacle or Goose Neck Barnacle)

Shield Limpet And Ribbed Limpet
When this rock is under water, all the limpets get up and walk around. The Shield Limpets (Lottia pelta) are the smooth round limpets. The Ribbed Limpets (Lottia digitalis) is the rougher cones, with radiating ribs. John Harvey Photo > Botanical Beach > Shield Limpet And Ribbed Limpet
