Soxy sea creatures: Symbiosis edition

Time to make more DIY handmade 'plushie' mascots out of socks! As volunteers prep up for International Year of the Reef 2018 activities!

Being nature people, we know some sea creatures live on other sea creatures. And some are found together in colourful ecosystems! Here's some tips on how to recreate soxy versions.


Some sea anemones settle on shells of living snails.

Other sea anemones settle on shells occupied by a hermit crab.

Like these soxy creatures!

Carpet anemones are often homes to anemone shrimps!

These carpet anemones were made out of literally fluffy carpet.

It's also fun to make marine 'corsages' out of several different animals. Like these sea stars and feather star with sea fans.

Or assorted marine snails and marine worms with sea fans.

Did you make a marine ecosystem? I would love it if you could share a photo of it!
