Answer 3

Hi @alexkirkley! Here's what I have (feel free to ask for clarification):
A - Starfish (Sea Stars) - try to visualize their undersides
B - Mussels - If you like seafood, where do you find them?
C - @Beowulf definitely! - Think of it this way, they move from shell to shell whenever necessary
D - @Beowulf - Yup! - Kelp are a type of seaweed, and are green, and use photosynthesis to make glucose
E - Barnacles - they love to clump on ships, whales, and vertical pier members and keep water in their shells
F - Anemones - they move and sway like palm trees, and retract immediately when spooked
G - Grunt Sculpin - this one you can picture as using the fins to walk...
