  • Star fish avoid being washed away in strong waves, their arms which are covered with pincer-like organs and suckers that allow them to grip firmly onto solid surfaces.
  • The sea cucumber has evolved an unusual tactic as it can be difficult to escape predators. It spits out some of it’s organs and while the predator is eating these it tries to make it’s escape. The sea cucumber can then regrow the organs it lost.
  • Oxygen levels in the water in tide pools can get very low. Most fish would suffocate in this water but the sculpin fish has adapted to be able to come to the surface of the water and breath air.
  • The Common Blenny is a fish that is also known as the Shanny and is very common around the rocky shores of England. It can also be found hiding under rocks and crannies in rock pools when the tide is out.
  • The Butterfish is a long slim eel-like fish that can be found all around the English coastline. It prefers to live near the sea shore just below low tide level where it hides underneath boulders, stones and amongst seaweed.
  • The Goby Rock is a small fish that can be found around the south and west coasts of England where it hides under stones and seaweed. It can also be found in rock pools when the tide is out.
  • The Long-spined Sea Scorpion is a small stout-looking fish that has spiny fins and one long spine on either side of its face. It is also known as the ‘Bullhead’ because it has quite a large broad head. It can be found all around the coasts of England in shallow rocky waters, especially amongst algae or seaweed. It can also be found in rock pools and sometimes in waters as deep as thirty metres.
