Anemone And Crab

Three Closed Anemones
These aggregating anemone (Anthopleura elegantissima) have picked up bits of sand and shell. If they were out of the water, that junk may help prevent them from drying out, and offer some protection from the sun. Species: Anthopleura elegantissima (Aggregating Anemone, Clonal Anemone)

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)
