Hanging ten?

 


During the last few low tide series, we've been busy doing surveys and haven't had much time to look around in the tidepools, but tonight we went out for a little while just for fun.  We wanted to try to find a Ten-tentacled Sea Anemone (Halcampa decemtentaculata), and we were successful!  

Here are two different individuals.  I'll include a little more information about this species in another post, but we wanted to share a couple of examples tonight.  Photographed on the Sonoma Coast on 20 November 2021.

 

 
A beautiful little anemone!
