Scoping of the bottom, however, should not be neglected in spite of it's seeming uninhabitedness.

The majority of the animals takes advantage of the sand by burying themselves into it, appearing at the surface either at night, or as remains, like the shell of this Acanthocardia tuberculata cockle at the left.
Others use the protective coloration, that makes a striking effect when combined with the outline blurring burying and sand sprinklings.
Bothus podas flatfish, that lies slightly lower and more to the right from the shell, is pointed by a seagrass arrow in the centre.
