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 At low water I photographed these withdrawn plumose anemones, Metridium senile, located in a recess of a wall in the Gouliot caves, Sark.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 > The small but beautiful gem anemone, Aulactinia verrucosa, lives in rock pools on the upper shore. This one was photographed in a green seaweed (Ulva sp.) filled rock pool at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast. As the tide was out the anemone had withdraw its tentacles. The rows of warts or verrucae on the column help identify this species. The closed anemone resembles the shell or test of a sea urchin. Photographed on 8 February 2005.
