Daisy Anemone, Cereus pendunculatus, growing out of the sediment in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast

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

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.
