Exploring home-town beach for washed out marine life forms

Inspired from @prashanthakrishnamc 's recent upload of Sea Anemone, decided to explore NITK beach myself, along with my wife Nishitha, during low tide. Even though there were lot of beach visitors we managed to see lot of small marine creatures.

My wife spotted a small turtle but it went to hiding immediately. So couldn't confirm the species. Interesting to even see a turtle in our coast and raises curiosity if they nest here? Wonder what else we can discover if explore more in future?
