A beadlet anemone, Actinia equina, from Havelet Bay, St Peter Port on 22 March 2003
A Beadlet anemone, Actinia equina, in a shallow, sand filled pool in Havelet Bay on the south side of St. Peter Port on Guernsey's east coast. This anemone with its tentacles extended shows the bright blue acrorhagi (singular: acrorhagus) which have nematocysts (stinging cells) which are used aggressively towards other anemones.

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.
