| Alicia
anemone Alicia sp. Family Aliciidae updated Jan 09 Where seen? This strange anemone is sometimes seen on our Southern shores among seagrasses near living reefs. Features: Out of water, it is just a blob. But when submerged it expands into a beautiful animal. One seen was a small blob about 2cm out of water. Another was about 10cm long out of water. It has clusters of bumps on the body column, and long elegant tentacles. |
 This is what it looked like when we first saw it. Cyrene Reef, May 08 |
