sealord > The dahlia anemone, Urticina felina, grows attached to the side of some of the fish quay pontoons in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey, Channel Islands. The dahlia anemone is constantly immersed in the sea as the pontoons rise and fall with the tide. The pontoons attached to the fish quay are bathed in fresh seawater entering the harbour mouth. I have not seen dahlia anemones in the QE II marina, which is separated from the sea by a weir at low tide. File No. 210907 1116 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net

sealord > These sea anemones, Actinothoe sphyrodeta, grow on the side of the pontoon on the inside of the arm of the fish quay. Some people have given them the common name "fried egg anemone". They can resemble the anemone Sagartia elegans but they don't possess suckers on the column. The column has pale stripes. This can be seen on the anemone in the extreme lower left of the image. These anemones were photographed on the 8 June 2007. File No. 080607 384 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > Two nudibranchs meet and mouth each other - Facelina auriculata on the left and Facelina bostoniensis on the right. They are gliding over erect bryozoan colonies and a Mogula ascidian on the lower edge and in the middle of the image. They were feeding and laying egg veils on the side of the pontoon attached to the fish quay in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey on the 8th June 2007.
