Animals like the isopods, barnacles, limpets live in the splash zone during the winter, they are found lower on the inter-tidal rocks.The inter-tidal zone is in between high tide and low tide. High tide is normally controlled by physiological on temperature and drying. Low tide is mostly determined by the presence of predators or competing species. The animals that live in the inter-tidal zone are anemones, barnacles, chi-tons, crabs, green algae, isopods, limpets, mussels, sea lettuce, sea palms, sea stars, snails, sponges, and whelks.The Sub-Tidal zone is the area below the inter-tidal zone and most of the time it's covered by water. Organisms do not dry out as often as organisms higher on the beach. They grow much faster and are better in competition for the same bay.
