Photography includes animals at The National Marine Aquarium at Plymouth; animals found on kelp holdfasts washed up at Sennen Cove, Cornwall; and animals on an overhang, found on an extremely low tide at Roskilley, near Mousehole, Cornwall, 12.03.12.
Jewel anemones are rarely found between the tides as they prefer deeper water.
The Jewel anemone is galled by the parasitic copepod Mesoglicola delagei.

The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help
people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
