Dahlia anemone, Urticina felina, in a La Valette rock pool on Guernsey's east coast on 10th June 2006

A dahlia anemone, Urticina felina, in a rock pool at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast.

Photographed 10 June 2006. I have seen this beautiful dahlia anemone in this rock pool for several years. Other dahlia anemones I see on the rocky shore at La Valette are often attached to boulders and cobbles and I see them only once. The dahlia anemone in this pool is difficult to see because the surface of the pool is covered in a thick layer of green seaweed called 'velvet horn', Codium sp. during the summer months.

Sealord photography's biodiversity images began with a focus on international commercial seafood species and the marine life of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, Great Britain.

Sealord photography has a growing collection of digital images covering climate change, the environment and sustainability issues.

Sealord photography also covers the Guernsey community and particularly the fund raising activities of Guernsey charities as part of the island's social sustainability.

The fish, shellfish and marine life images would not be possible if it were not for the generosity of commercial and recreational fishermen in Guernsey, and seafood suppliers at various trade shows in the USA, and wholesalers at Fulton Fish Market in New York City.

Many marine biologists have helped identify or confirm the identity of marine species photographed. These people have been mentioned when possible.
