Undersea nasties

[60plus]

Came across a cone snail for the first time recently.

Any of you americans had problems with Humboltd squid?

Never with a humble squid, no. There’s hell to pay when you run into one that’s pretentious.

Arm yourself with butter and garlic.

I would be very wary of a Geography Cone.

Just for info the cone snail was at the entrance to Puerto del Carmen harbour on what they call the wrecks dive. Until then I did not know they were in this area - no more laying on the sand to play with the octopus!

The only nasties undersea are human debris: fishlines, pollution, etc.

Not just undersea, the beach at Lytham st Annes has more stock than the womens sanitary product section of Boots

Haven't had to use it yet, but I have a big jar and tongs to deal with collecting live cones. Textile Cones are venomous too.

You don't collect live cones do you?

And then there are the humans!
