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)

Mussels In Tide Pool
I like the three distinct colors here - the blue of the mussels (Mytilus californianus), the green from the surf grass (Phyllospadix somethings) and the pink coralline Algae (Corallina officinalis).
Species: Mytilus californianus (California mussel), Corallina officinalis (pink coralline Algae)

Anemone And Mussels
That's a giant (or in this case not so giant) green anemone.
Species: Anthopleura xanthogrammica (giant green anemone)
