In kelp forests, the most commonly found invertebrates are bristle worms, scud, prawn, snails . One of the most important mammals in a kelp forest is the sea otter, who takes refuge from sharks and storms in these forests.
These animals feed on the holdfasts that keep kelp anchored to the bottom of the ocean and algae that are abundant in kelp forests. Sea urchins will often completely remove kelp plants by eating through their holdfasts. The sea otter eats the red sea urchin that can destroy a kelp forest if left to multiply freely.
