This subtidal aggregation of T.g.elatensis demonstrates the high color variablity within this subspecies. Coloration of spines, tube-feet and pedicellaria ranges between white and black with no dominance of any color combination. to protect against high light intensity and camouflage they carry pebbles and sea-grass leaves.

Named after the tasty Aussie cake, or the habit that it has of collecting algae that is drifting by. You can see the fine tentacles that stick out to grab the algae so it can be eaten; they are quite different to the white spines. All of the T. gratilla at Camp Cove today were holding little "hats" of algae. Cute!

A living T. g. elatensis showing Type B pollution-induced deformity in Eilat, Red Sea: It showed mainly as an extreme apical collapse . It was apprently caused by chemicals ejected from a hotels laundry into an artificial lagoon. 2/3 of the population showed this deformity. This deformity was described by Dafni (1983b). It is still shown occasionally in small shore streches, apparently affected by polluted waters.
