The bubbler crab is a tiny beast (its burrow, visible just above and right of centre) is about wide enough to slip a pencil in. It filters nutrients fromthe sand and in the process deposits it in neat little balls all around its burrow, forming these random floral patterns.

As the tides ebb and flow and the waves lap the beach, the tiny Sand Bubbler crabs sift for food among the damp and coarse. Too dry or too wet and they cannot roll their perfect little balls, so as the ocean reached low tide their hard work is displayed, only to be washed away at nature resets.

EN: A small army of sand bubbler crabs. They'll promptly burrow under the sand when threatened. At low tide they can be observed forming fairly artistic looking radial patterns with pellets of sand they extract from their hideout in the sand.

A marée basse, ils produisent des motifs radiaires plutôt artistiques avec de petites boulettes de sable qu'ils extraient de leurs cachettes dans le sable.
