Beadlet anemone

The beadlet anemone is a tough little sea creature that clings to rocks along coastlines. You can spot its deep red or green tentacles in Western Europe, the Mediterranean, and even as far south as South Africa. Unlike some anemones that drift, this one stays put, waiting for food to come to it.

• It lives on rocky shores from Europe to South Africa.
• Its body comes in shades of red or green.
• It anchors itself firmly and doesn’t wander like other anemones.
