chrisnormDescription
Found at the water line during low tide. No shell. Found a moon snail shell and set it in, it stayed in the shell for a few minutes then got right back out and kept crawling around. Set a couple other shell options around it but it didn't seem interested.

This clam was observed approximately an hour past low tide in a rock pool. As a longtime marine enthusiast, I am happy to be joining the iNaturalist community and making my first observation.

Saw multiple on bayside during low tide in the small pools of water! Long snake like mini fish. Any ideas?
