Big And Little Anemones
From what I understand, adjacent Anemones are probably clones - they would sting each other if they weren't the same animal. The purple ends are the stinging areas. Anthopleura elegantissima. Species: Anthopleura elegantissima (Aggregating Anemone, Clonal Anemone)

Pisaster ochraceus - very common around here. I'm not sure what's going on with the joined area - it looks swollen or damaged. Species: Pisaster ochraceus (Ochre Star)

Two Types Of Chitons
The Larger Chiton is a Black Katy Chiton - Katharina tunicata. They were very common on in the mid and low tide regions. The smaller Chiton is a Lined Chiton - Tonicella lineata, and is apparently eaten by ochre stars. John Harvey Photo > Botanical Beach > Two Types Of Chitons

Giant Green Anemone
These aren't as tolerant of drying out as the smaller Aggregate Green Anemone so you have to shoot through more water to see them. Species: Anthopleura xanthogrammica (giant green anemone)

Aggregate Green Anemone
This one was way under a rock so I don't think it gets as much light and consequently had less alegae and green color. Species: Anthopleura elegantissima (Aggregating Anemone, Clonal Anemone)
