Description: | This is one of the most familiar seashore animals. It can be found all around the British coast. At low tide, they are often seen attached to rocks and stones, or feeding in rock pools on green seaweed and micro-organisms. They form an important source of food for larger animals such as crabs. As its name suggests, in some areas this species was traditionally collected by hand for food. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.invertebratezoology.19931 | Go to resource |
