Channel Island Marine Life by Sue

Crustaceans
Apart from fish, crustaceans are probably the most familiar and easily-recognised of all marine creatures. They are soft-bodied animals living in a hard outer shell like a suit of armour and have jointed legs, obvious body parts and distinct eyes, often on stalks. They have well-developed sensory and nervous systems to cope with their complex lives of hunting, hiding and mating.
