The approx. 10mm specimen above was found on sieving sand from just below the low water mark east of Chyandour Rocks, Penzance, Cornwall, 26.06.21. The specimen was not relaxed in MgCl prior to photography, relaxing this species may reduce the strength of the dorsal line.

Thanks to Dr. Andrew Mackie for confirming this species.

The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help
people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
