Natural bandsNatural bands Sal's shoreline is equally desolate, with no vegetation visible and scarcely a barnacle on the intertidal rocks. As each wave retreated, the sand was baked dry in seconds to form a hard crust several centimeters thick. This process trapped a few microshells, but once the surface adhesion was broken they could be swept away by the wind. In one instance a tiny Opalia (believed new to science) suffered the misfortune to be stranded aperture up, to die of rapid dehydration. Natural bandsNatural bands Two species which have been cited as "indicator species" elsewhere, C. tigris on the Great Barrier Reef (Stephenson, et al., 1934), and C. arenosa [schilderorum] in the Tuamotus (Doty and Morrison, 1954) occur in Philippines, but in apparently different habitats from which they occupy elsewhere, and in far lesser abundance. C. tigris, described as exposed on the surface of large coral heads at Biak in the Marshall Islands (Bayer and Neurohr, 1946), and on various lagoon and seaward reefs in the Pacific (Demond, 1957), is collected only at depths below 10 feet in Philippines Haters. C. arenosa which is collected on top of reefs in the Tuamotus (Doty and Morrison, 1954) occurs at depths of 6-35 feet in Philippines.
