Tide pools, or rock pools, are rocky pools on the sea shore which are filled with seawater. Many of these pools exist as separate pools only at low tide.
Many tide pools are habitats of especially adaptable animals that have engaged the attention of naturalists and marine biologists, as well as philosophical essayists: John Steinbeck wrote in The Log from the Sea of Cortez, "It is advisable to look from the tide pool to the stars and then back to the tide pool again."
The sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima reproduces clones of itself through a process called longitudinal fission, in which the animal splits into two parts along its length. The sea anemone Anthopleura sola often engages in territorial fights. The white tentacles (acrorhagi), which contain stinging cells, are for fighting. The sea anemones sting each other repeatedly until one moves.
Some species of starfish can regenerate lost arms. Most species must retain an intact central part of the body to be able to regenerate, but a few can regrow from a single ray. The regeneration of these stars is possible because the vital organs are in the arms.

Interesting facts about tide pools include - Creatures living in and around the tide pools. There are snails and barnacles smaller than a fingertip, and crabs that are the size of your fist. In larger tide pools you might find the occasional octopus or lobster, but not often. There are also sea anemones whose worm like arms can paralyze tiny sea creatures, but would probably only tickle humans. Probably the only creature in the tide pool that could really harm the animals are the sea urchin. Most creatures that live in tide pools are in a group called invertebrates, which means they have no back bone or spine. There are many birds living around tide pools that feed on the creatures. The main enemy of tide pools is humans. They're fascinated by the beautiful sea stars, sand dollars, and hermit crabs. Humans should look but not touch. Most animals within the tide pools can get either severely injured, or even killed. The rock of the tide pools can be destroyed or damaged in many different ways, such as by wind or rain eventually wearing away the rock, or by pollution which makes the water temperatures rise, which can kill most of the creatures.
