Urticina felina Fish Quay pontoon 271207 2179 smg
Urticina felina fish quay pontoon 271207 2172 smg
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.

I need to confirm the identification of this anemone, which was in a pool on the floor of the Mouton cave on Sark's west coast.  I think it is Sagartia. Unfortunately, I didn't look at the column to confirm identification.

Some of the vertical walls of the Gouliot cave system on the west coast of Sark, Bailiwick of Guernsey, Channel Islands are carpeted with beadlet anemones, Actinia equina.  The green anemones are considered by some researchers to be a separate species, Actinia prasina. Sark's Gouliot cave system was designated a RAMSAR site in April 2007.

This expanded beadlet anemone, Actinia equina, was in a large pebble and cobble filled pool in the Gouliot cave system on the west coast of Sark, Channel Islands, Great Britain.  The Gouliot caves that are filled with seawater at high tide run through the Gouliot headland. They are famous for their large population of closely spaced beadlet anemones.  Sark's Gouliot caves were made a RAMSAR site in April 2007.
