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 > At low water I photographed these withdrawn plumose anemones, Metridium senile, located in a recess of a wall in the Gouliot caves, Sark. These anemones are found at the base of the cave wall whereas the beadlet anemones, Actinia equina, are found higher up the wall as they are on the open seashore. These plumose anemones probably don't tolerate as well as the beadlet anemones the fast water flow through the cave system so they are found only in recesses and depressions in the cave wall.

sealord > This image shows at low tide a small area of one of the vertical walls of the Gouliot cave system on Sark's west coast. The walls are covered in the beadlet anemone, Actinia equina. The Gouliot Caves were designated a RAMSAR site in April 2007. Photographed on the 12 September 2007. File No. 120907 893 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > 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. File No. 120907 952 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net

sealord > The daisy anemone, Cereus pendunculatus, grows attached to rock buried in the gravel. Daisy anemones with their psychedelic tentacle pattern are difficult to spot growing out of the substrate. They are very common in the bottom of the channel that extends from the Queen Elizabeth 2 marina into Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast. Photographed on 5 January 2007.
