What shelter does a sea turtle have?

Answer 1

a sea turtle has a hard shell to act as a body armor. it fully covers it's abdomen and back. The turtle has no shelter as it is continually migrating (on the move).

Answer 2

Sea stars are slow moving, and therefore they cannot escape predators easily. They are also vulnerable as they cannot use their arms against attack from above. However they do have a formidable protection. Sea stars have a kind of calcium exoskeleton which is often covered in spines. Few predators can penetrate this shell, and few bother. Some sea stars, such as the crown of thorns sea star, take this defence a step further, and have hundreds of venomous spines on their surface. This makes these 60 cm wide sea stars almost invinceable, as nothing can attack them from above, and every thing that can access them from below is too small to attack them. Sea stars can vary in colour, often even being able to change colour to blend in with their surroundings and conceal them from predators.

Many sea stars are brightly coloured and stand out, but they are tough targets because of their hard calcium surfaces. Also, their arms are covered in sucker-like projections (or "feet") similar to those on an octopuses tentacles. This allows them to attach themselves to the rock, making them hard to remove.

Apart from predators, sea stars also use the suckers on their feet to grip to the rock, preventing the tide from ripping them away. Apart from their natural features, sea stars rarely have shelters. There are no known cases of sea stars having natural external shells like snails, whelks or shellfish, and there are also no known cases of sea stars occupying old shells like octopus, hermit crabs, or fish.

Sea stars do, however, often hide in crags in the rock, but this is often to look for food.

Answer 3

Loggerheads are commonly found underneath a shelf on a reef. They are able to take a breath then submerge for a long time to rest. They are also different from other species of sea turtle in that they allow their shells to become disguised with lots of barnacles and sea weeds. Often a loggerhead looks like a submerged log.
