Field Notes

Description:

I found it swimming around an old shipwreck on the beach. It blended in well with the green seaweed around the wreck.

Habitat:

It was living in the wood of an old shipwreck on Higgins Beach. Though far up the beach away from the shoreline, the area around the shipwreck is full of water.
