r/TidePooling

5/19/26 Low Tide: -3.9 @ 1:29 P.M.
Point Defiance Park
Tacoma, WA

First White-lined Dirona, White-and-orange-tipped Nudibranch, Ismaila belciki, and Three-lined Aeolid.

Plus an active east pacific red octopus?! 🐙

I went tide pooling yesterday and found some great finds but need help identifying these 2 pics… the first is some kind of poop? It kept finding it in certain pools, anyone know who this may have come from? Also the second, I know it’s a Nudi but I’m wondering what’s beneath it near the rhinophores. It’s really really tiny, on a piece of kelp. Is it eggs?
Thanks for the help!

First gumboot chiton!

Found during low tide in Seattle earlier this week. It's that thing in between the legs of the sea star, looks kind of like a tube shaped fish cake. There was a naturalist on site who couldn't ID it.

Second pic is about an hour after the first. What's all the stuff that's coming out of it? It looks like it's leaking all of its innards out.

Anyone know what kind of nudi this is? WA state

Thought this sea star had some wicked looking skin

Very gorgeous sea star I saw at the beach, if anyone knows what it is please let me know! ^^

Found this dude in Port Townsend, WA. Not sure if he was an anemone? A nudibranch? He wasn’t moving, so I assumed he was an anemone and moved on, but now looking back at my photos I have no idea! Does anyone have any idea about a possible ID?

saw a couple of these lil weirdo's wiggling around & breathing. have no idea what i was looking at! thoughts?

Went to Seahurst yesterday and saw ~4 octopuses, then all of the sea slugs under the Fauntleroy Ferry Dock in West Seattle.

Found at Manchester state park in port orchard, Washington. I believe it’s a nudibranch, just unsure which one.

I was so excited that my first trip tidepooling we found an octopus! It was a chilly day, but worth it.
