En una poza mareal durante la bajamar en la rasa de El Médano (sur de Tenerife): un cangrejo ermitaño (Clibanarius sp.), ocupando la concha de una Littorina striata, cabalga un caracol burbuja (Micromelo undatus).
La concha del caracol burbuja está tapizada de cianobacterias que son alimento para el cangrejo.

Hi,
ResponderEliminarI just wanted to say that your blog is just perfect! I'm a fan of Macaronesian fauna and flora, my favorite snorkling site is in Arigana, Gran Canaria. It is great to find information of the species I have seen. Please don't ever close this site :) Thank you!
Best regards, Sari from Finland
Hi Sari and thank you very much for your comment! For the last two years I've been living in Tenerife, where I had these great opportunities to observe Macaronesian fauna and flora, but two months ago I moved to the North of Spain (Santander), so the "objects" of my observations will change. Hope they will be of your interest as well. Greetings from Cantabria!
