From the Tide Pool

I have no idea what these are but they live in a tide pool exposed at low tide on Cannon Beach, Oregon.

Good photo of funny looking things! Could they be barnacles - they do look like they might open up and extend little crab like feelers to catch critters etc.

@robz These could be barnacles or actually thing...I have no clue, but I liked the patterns.

i like the patterns both as a whole image but also the patterns on individual animals.. Also like the colours - which surprised me somewhat. usually i see only bleaches white ones, nothing as pretty as these.. thanks for sharing..

Very interesting. They look like corals in shape.

@jorlam @veengupta Thank you both...I don't have much experience with tide pools; glad you found this interesting.

Their shapes and colors make you feel like you're in another world. Such a neat closeup shot!

@cjphoto This stuff is like a different, alien world....nice to get a peek into it without having to use scuba gear!
