Rock pools
A look at how the creatures that live in a rock pool survive. The presenter talks about the tide and, with the help of an expert, explores rock pool life. The sea anemone and seaweed anchor themselves to rocks for stability. A crab uses its tough shell for defence and also as camouflage. It can re-grow a missing leg or claw. The starfish has hundreds of tiny suckers that keep it firmly in place.
