sealord > This tiny anemone, Gonactinia prolifera, is common in the Queen Elizabeth 2 marina, St. Peter Port, Guernsey.  This anemone rarely grows larger than 5 mm in height including the tentacles. R.L. Manuel who wrote "British Anthozoa" as part of the Synopses of the British Fauna states "this is the smallest known sea anemone."  It is a very active species being able to swim and to move around over the substrate.  It reproduces asexually by transverse fission.  This image shows the anemone in the process of transverse fission with two sets of tentacles.  The base of the column with the shorter tentacles protruding will become another anemone.
