The subtidal area is the last zone we will discuss. This area is submerged most of the time, exposed briefly during extreme low tides around full and new moon events. This zone provides habitat to a large diversity of plants and animals in contrast to the other zones. It is dominated by red algae and the most common animals found here are the grazers such as periwinkles and sea urchins.

∙ 12y agoThe sublittoral zone extends from below low tide to the edge of the continental shelf. This area can generally be found about 150 to 300 meters in depth. There is a great abundance of plant and animal life in this zone because the sunlight can reach the bottom in most areas, and there is a lot of nutrient's.
Organisms:
Periwinkles
Kelp Fish
Chitons
Sponges
Sea Urchins
Plants:
Red Algae
Hudson Plant
Hope That Helps!

What type of animals are typically absent in soft-bottom subtidal communities?
The type of animals that are typically absent in a soft bottom subtidal community are sessile. A sessile animal is not able to move and is permanently attached to something solid.
Which of these zones of the ocean is most hospitable to life?
The intertidal ecosystem has the most life in it, it is between high tide and low tide and is always changing. Organisms that live in this area must be able to live with water and no water, also have protection from sea gulls and other sea birds that prey there. Some examples of animals that live there are ghost crab, coquinas, skates, and sand dollars. there are different zones in that too, like that beach zone and subtidal zone for example.
Where do mollusca live?
The majority of mollusca species live in marine environments, and many of them are found intertidally, in the shallow subtidal and on the continental shelf.
What part of the sea do ocotpuses live in?
Benthic, anywhere from the sub-littoral to the subtidal to the abyssal. Depends on the species. They generally prefer a rocky bottom.
