Unstable pebbles also remained uncolonised, but most of the rocks were large enough to support a fairly dense turf of faunal species, especially the moderate sized boulders. Several species were conspicuous and common including Clavelina lepadiformis in lumps and masses, Alcyonidium spp. (single pieces, widespread especially on tops of rocks), Flustra foliacea (tops/sides) of the rocks. Amongst the hydroids Halecium spp. was obvious, and the larger stouter Abietenaria spp. Bryozoans were abundant often dominating the boulder surfaces. Apart from Flustra foliacea the species involved were Bugula flabellata and Bugula plumosa. The small blobby tunicate Archidistoma abundant. Other species seen sporadically included the boring phase of Cliona spp., especially on low, small boulders, one or 2 clumps of Alcyonium digitatum. Rarely Sabella spp., protruding from sides of small boulders or silty sand pockets. Urticina felina was occasionally seen, on the bedrock boulder floor. Amongst mobile fauna - the commonest were young Asterias rubens, Hyas spp. and several Cancer pagurus and Pleuronectes spp. Otherwise few fish, just Callionymus lyra. Crossaster seen, and several Janolus were seen feeding on Bugula spp. Algae virtually non existant - just a few unidentified reds.
