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 At low water I photographed these withdrawn plumose anemones, Metridium senile, located in a recess of a wall in the Gouliot caves, Sark.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.
