Today we went to the Apollo Beach in search of cephalochordates.  We were hoping to find lancelets, but unfortunately we did not find any.  However, we did find a brittle star (opthurhioidea), jack knife clams, polychaeta sedentary and errantia, some gastropods, mussels, and some barnacles.  The water was a bit cloudy, so it was a bit hard to find some stuff.  The technique we used to find things that worked the best was sieving with a screen to filter out the muck and sand.  Peter used his snorkel to dig extra deep, which allowed us to find a lot of the worm-like things.  The most interesting things we found, one of which we could not identify was a worm about an inch and a half long with a black tip and orange body.  The organism's body was severed, yet it still seemed to be alive and moving.  We also found a dancing lady, and a slime ball which we thought was an egg sac of some sort.  Many of the organisms exhibited interesting structures for locomotion and feeding.  Overall, today was interesting and we found lots of things that some of us have never seen before.
