Great Blue Heron
These were pretty good hunters - they were pulling fish out with every strike and I didn't even see fish.
Species: Ardea herodias (Great Blue Heron)

Sea Cucumber

The difference between slow film and a pro lens, verses a disposable camera can be quite striking.  The
color is what surprises me here.  The sea cucumbers were pretty common, and are really stuck
to the bottom.

Sea Urchins

The difference between slow film and a pro lens, verses a disposable camera can be quite striking.  This
is shot in the tide pools around poipu beach.

Giant Green Sea Anenomes

The green globs are Giant Green Anemone (Anthopleura Xanthogrammica).  The granite in this
area make good footholds for water fed life.  The stars are Purple Stars (Pisaster Ochraceus).

Anemone And Crab
I took a few pictures of this Anemone and in each you can see the crab getting larger as it comes up to the surface. These little guys only get to be 2 inches wide and are generally herbivorous.

Three Closed Anemones
These aggregating anemone (Anthopleura elegantissima) have picked up bits of sand and shell. If they were out of the water, that junk may help prevent them from drying out, and offer some protection from the sun.
Species: Anthopleura elegantissima (Aggregating Anemone, Clonal Anemone)

Black Turbans
Tegula funebralis. Apparently, they can live to be 80 years old.
Species: Tegula funebralis (Black Tegula, Black Turbans)

Aggregate Green Anemone
Mostly closed and hiding.
Species: Anthopleura elegantissima (Aggregating Anemone, Clonal Anemone)

Two Types Of Chitons
The Larger Chiton is a Black Katy Chiton - Katharina tunicata. They were very common on in the mid and low tide regions. The smaller Chiton is a Lined Chiton - Tonicella lineata, and is apparently eaten by ochre stars.
Species: Katharina tunicata (Black Katy Chiton), Tonicella lineata (Lined Chiton)

Purple Sea Urchins In Holes
Strongylocentrotus purpuratus erode the rocks to form the little depressions they occupy.
Species: Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (Purple Sea Urchin)

Big And Little Anemones
From what I understand, adjacent Anemones are probably clones - they would sting each other if they weren't the same animal. The purple ends are the stinging areas. Anthopleura elegantissima.
Species: Anthopleura elegantissima (Aggregating Anemone, Clonal Anemone)

Anemone And Mussels
That's a giant (or in this case not so giant) green anemone.
Species: Anthopleura xanthogrammica (giant green anemone)

Anemone Friends
I believe these two are clones because they won't interact like this if they aren't the same animal.
