Any Unuasual Marine Sightings?

A few days ago I was searching a beach in Dorset, when we found several species which I hadn't seen before or seen once or twice.
They included a coat of mail Chiton, a small 1cm sea slug, and a parasetic anemone, as well as several species which I don't know the name! Has anyone else had some memorial moments on a beach with wildlife?

Had a Bonito washed up and a Basking Shark (which was alive in the sea) this summer, both in North Yorkshire.

I've seen a dead Ray's Bream this year, along with a live Scorpion Spider Crab at Scarborough, my first two Dragonets, Plumed Sea Slug, Grey Sea Slug, Rough-Mantled Doris....

It has been a good year. When my website is up and running with all the pictures I'll drop a link.
