两种类型的人造基质（尼龙泛洗刷）已被证明是岩石海岸上隐秘动物的高效收集者。其中发育的群落与班特里湾天然存在的红藻草皮中发育的群落非常相似。红藻的物理结构似乎是决定大多数所研究的隐藏动物物种种群发展的主要因素。在监测方案中，此处描述的类型的人造基质可以替代岸上隐动物群研究中天然存在的红藻，从而避免了对藻类进行破坏性采样的必要性，并通过提供用于比较目的的标准基质“单位”来促进统计分析。此外，两种腹足动物的补充强度已被证明在人造基质中与天然草坪中相似
Two types of artificial substrate (nylon pan-scourers) have been shown to be highly efficient collectors of cryptofauna on rocky shores. The communities which develop in them are closely similar to those which develop in naturally occurring red algal turfs in Bantry Bay. The physical structure of the red algae appears to be the prime factor in determining the development of populations of most of the cryptofaunal species studied. In monitoring protocols artificial substrates of the types described here can be substituted for naturally occurring red algae in studies on shore cryptofauna obviating the necessity for destructive sampling of algae and facilitating statistical analysis by providing a standard ‘unit’ of substrate for comparative purposes. Furthermore, recruitment intensity of two species of gastropod has been shown to be similar in the artificial substrates to that in natural turfs
