sealord > I need to confirm the identification of this anemone, which was in a pool on the floor of the Mouton cave on Sark's west coast.  I think it is Sagartia. Unfortunately, I didn't look at the column to confirm identification.

sealord > At low water I photographed these withdrawn plumose anemones, Metridium senile, located in a recess of a wall in the Gouliot caves, Sark. These anemones are found at the base of the cave wall whereas the beadlet anemones, Actinia equina, are found higher up the wall as they are on the open seashore.  These plumose anemones probably don't tolerate as well as the beadlet anemones the fast water flow through the cave system so they are found only in recesses and depressions in the cave wall.

Photographed on 12 September 2007.

sealord > This image shows a part of the Gouliot cave system on Sark's west coast. To give a sense of scale a man is walking into the entrance of the cave on the left.  Because this was a time exposed image the man's outline is not clear and his head is not visible.  Photographed on the 12 September 2007.
