Tiny crustaceans that burrow beneath the sand. About 3cm in size. My 3rd Cousin Siena is very skilled at catching them and she let me photograph this one in her hand.

Beautiful picture!
Thanks Patty. :)
Amazing! I saw some animals that burrow beneath the sand in Brazil but I never grabbed them to look at them in detail. They rush under the sand once the wave is gone; they seem to be that size, I never thought they could have those sort of eyes! I'll pay closer attention. Interesting spotting Liam.
