Kelp

Tap it to bring fish in to nibble the kelp. Hands-on: push the fronds; they sway back.

Kelp is a giant seaweed, a kind of brown algae that grows in cool, shallow seas. It holds on to the rocks with rootlike grips, and little bulbs full of gas keep its long blades floating up toward the light. Kelp can grow so thick that it makes underwater forests, full of fish, snails, sea urchins and sea otters.

The kelp sways gently by itself. Tap it and three little fish swim in, each noses up to a blade for a few nibbles, and the kelp sways away from them, then swings back as they swim off. Giant kelp can grow more than half a meter in a day. With ✋ Hands-on on, push the fronds and they swing after your finger, then sway slowly in the water and drift back.
