Sunker Rock

The Sunker catches currents at all states of the tide, but is sheltered from the worst excesses of the weather, so is a prime site for all sorts of marine filter feeders and the fauna that feeds on them. The shallower surfaces have kelp & Sea Lettuce (Ulva Lactuca) with Blue rayed limpets & a variety of bryophytes and the nudibranchs that feed on them. You will find many species of Hermit crab, Jewel anenomes, Daliah anenomes, Dead Mens fingers & Pink sea fans. Take your camera. Learn to use the manual white balance correction! Sunker Rock is just off the South West corner of the Orestone. This rock comes to within 0.5m of the surface at a low spring tide.
