I'll be heading out there this weekend, either Saturday or Sunday, but here are the finds from about two weeks ago, including a hairy chiton (I don't think it's a mossy, I always get those confused), a sea lemon and a tunicate (don't know if it's invasive or not, just orange and slimey).
The scale of this chiton is a bit lost in this photo, but it was about three to four inches long, which is big for these guys. They can live to be 100 years old or more.

Thanks! I'll check this out. I saw another one last weekend that was just as big, and I think, you're right, they are mossies.
