Strawberry Anemone

Actinia fragacea

Summary 2

The strawberry anemone (Actinia fragacea) is an Anthozoan of the order Actiniaria, a sea anemone, that occurs from Norway to Africa, including adjacent islands (Azores, Canary Islands and Cape Verde) and the Mediterranean. It is generally found on rocks of the lower shoreline and depths up to 8–10 metres (26–33 ft).

My Observations 3

Very similar to the beadlet anemone but they have green spots all over their base.
