Thank you for the ident Lauren .. much appreciated. Always lots of shells along this 9km stretch of beach. I must go down and get some photos and post them on here. Tricky to identify though! . Seas have been rough for the past two weeks, not too much seaweed washed up ... more plastic & styrofoam sadly : (

Beautiful Seaweed (supposedly an indicator of poor reef health when abundant) and beautiful shells.
