sealord > Fish Quay pontoons in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey > Urticina felina fish quay pontoon 271207 2172 smg
sealord > This view of the side of one of the pontoons attached to the fish quay in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey shows on the left colonies of the pink soft coral, Alcyonium hibernicum, and on the right a dahlia anemone, Urticina felina. In the centre of the image ascidian siphons are covered by an orange bryozoan colony. Emeritus Professor of marine biology John Ryland from Swansea University, Wales has identified this bryozoan as belonging to the genus Watersipora. It is an invasive species that has not been recorded before in the British Isles. Photographed on the 21st September 2007. File No. 210907 1086 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > These sea anemones, Actinothoe sphyrodeta, grow on the side of the pontoon on the inside of the arm of the fish quay. Some people have given them the common name "fried egg anemone". They can resemble the anemone Sagartia elegans but they don't possess suckers on the column. The column has pale stripes. This can be seen on the anemone in the extreme lower left of the image. These anemones were photographed on the 8 June 2007. File No. 080607 384 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > The dahlia anemone, Urticina felina, grows attached to the side of some of the fish quay pontoons in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey, Channel Islands. The dahlia anemone is constantly immersed in the sea as the pontoons rise and fall with the tide. The pontoons attached to the fish quay are bathed in fresh seawater entering the harbour mouth. I have not seen dahlia anemones in the QE II marina, which is separated from the sea by a weir at low tide. File No. 210907 1116 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
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. File No. 120907 852 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > This expanded beadlet anemone, Actinia equina, was in a large pebble and cobble filled pool in the Gouliot cave system on the west coast of Sark, Channel Islands, Great Britain. The Gouliot caves that are filled with seawater at high tide run through the Gouliot headland. They are famous for their large population of closely spaced beadlet anemones. Sark's Gouliot caves were made a RAMSAR site in April 2007. File No. 120907 952 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > This beautiful dahlia anemone, Urticina felina, with expanded tentacles is attached to a floating pontoon that lies next to the concrete fisherman's quay in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey. This picture was taken with a Canon S80 compact digital camera in an underwater housing at 1127 on the 9 March 2007. File No. 090307 6937 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > This dahlia anemone, Urticina felina, was attached to a boulder on the lower shore at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast. The anemone has partially withdrawn its tentacles showing the column with adherent shell fragments. The shell pieces are held to the column by the strongly adhesive wart-like verrucae, which are greyish-blue in the image. Photographed at La Valette. File No. 13-638 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
