Chequered Carpet Shells look similar to two other carpet shell species. Please include a photo of the outside and inside of all bivalve shells so we can use these features to identify the species. 🐚🙂 #BigBeachBiodiversitySurvey #ExploreYourShoreIRL at http://www.exploreyourshore.ie

Compressed Purse Sponges can be found beneath overhangs and in rockpools on the lower shore. They are often attached to seaweeds, particularily to red seaweeds. They are one of the few sponges that easily identified by eye. Why not #ExploreYourShoreIRL at http://www.exploreyourshore.ie
