Waratah Anemone by onewing

Waratah Anemone

Day 3 of my rockpool walk photos.

The red jelly blobs in this picture and waratah anemones. They retract at low tide inside this blob, and you can just about see a little red dot underneath the jellylike substance. If anyone is interested in any information about this anemone here is a link.

You can also see zebra snails and other shells in this picture too. The pink ferny stuff is a variety of coralline algae, and I will post more photos of that later in the week.
Cool!

@pusspup well spotted, I couldn't remember the names of everything we saw. I could have emailed Jeannie but haven't had time the last couple of days.
@ludwigsdiana the pink ferny thing is a variety of coralline algae.

@koalagardens it was a really interesting day

@joysabin @Dawn @koalagardens @lyndiejean @jamibann @gosia @wakelys @pcoulson @sangwann @beryl @jacqbb @kjarn @mittens @maria03051 @ingrid01 @carole_sandford @carolmw @olivetreeann @pyrrhula @pamalama @radiogirl @rickster549 Thanks. I would love to have seen them open but you have to wait until the water has covered them to see that. I will have to go back again one day just after the tide has turned and hopefully be able to get a photo before the tide covers them too much.
