These are amazing! You didn't mention where these are located...anywhere that we might be able to se them?
Thanks for your emails...we enjoy them very much!
Hello!
Hmmm...if you're down in the Limantour area (?), then the best place to look for these anemones might be at Duxbury Reef. We saw them there last year on a very low tide.
One thing -- these anemones are quite small, so it takes some kneeling down and looking closely and carefully in shallow tidepools. They seem to like pools with small stones/gravel and bits of shell. And we're still learning about this species, but they seem to lean towards being crepuscular/nocturnal, so looking for them when light levels are lower -- e.g., during low tides late in the day (at this time of year) might increase your chances.

Wow, these are just the prettiest critters EVER, aren't they? The center "flower-like" part reminds me of the kind of crocheting my grandmother used to do.
