bead anemone Anthopleura buddemeieri Family Actiniidae updated Jul 11 Where seen? These small anemones are seen near the high water mark on rocky shores made up of smooth boulders and rocks below a thick coastal forest. Individually usually widely dispersed, seldom with many on the same stone. First seen on St. John's Island, also on Sentosa Tanjung Rimau and Labrador. When exposed to air at low tide, it tucks its tentacles into its body column so it looks like a bead of jelly. Features: Diameter with tentacles expanded 1-2cm. Pale body column with pink spots in rows along the length of the body. One ring of tapering tentacles, pale greyish with pinkish cast and pinkish tips. |
