All these organisms have their own different adaptations that help them survive in their environment. With the organisms on my site such as the ghost crab, their adaptation is that they stay in cool protection of their burrow at day time and appears down to the water at twilight to hunt. These burrows can be up to four feet deep. For the starfish, their adaptation is calcified skin, bright colors, and the ability to regenerate limbs. The bright shade they have and the bony skin of a star fish helps discourage predators and protects them in case they are attacked. And for the fishes, they have adapted to their environment through the evolution of gills, swim bladders, and their fins. Their gills helps them absorb oxygen from the water. Their swim bladders allows them to maintain an appropriate level of buoyancy and of course their fins to help them move in the water.
The ghost crab interacts with other organisms by eating them. These ghost crabs eat smaller animals, such as clams, turtle hatchlings, and other crabs and the same goes to the star fish. The star fish interacts with other organisms by eating them. Their source of food are clams, oysters, and mussels. This creature also eats snails and injured fishes. But aside from eating other organisms, the star fish are also being eaten by manta rays and some sharks. As for the fishes, this organism usually eats each other and also eats kelp, algae, squid, octopus, etc.
