Whew, it's hard to believe another 12 months have gone by. Here are a couple of 12-tentacled sea anemones to help welcome 2022.
Meet Halcampa crypta!
It might seem surprising that these two individuals are the same species, but color patterning in Halcampa crypta is quite variable. If you've been following the blog lately, you will remember that the closely related species Halcampa decemtentaculata also shows considerable variation among individuals. Both of these photos were taken by Eric at Duxbury Reef on 31 December 2021.

You found it! That is so cool!
Hi, Monica!
Yes! We weren't having much luck at first, then started figuring out the habitat they seem to like.
Nice to run into you and Lorri!
:) Jackie
