Peritidal zone is similar but a somewhat wider zone, extending from above the highest tide level to below that of the lowest tide level. The intertidal zone is also home to many several species from different taxa including Porifera, Annelids, Coelenterates, Mollusks, crustaceans, Arthropods, etc. Wateris available regularly with the tides but varies from fresh with rain to highly saline and dry salt with drying between tidal inundations.
