A large sponge, a cluster of anemones, and other life is seen nearly 230 meters deep at an area of the seabed that was very recently covered by the George VI Ice Shelf in Antarctica. Sponges can grow very slowly, sometimes less than two centimeters a year, so the size of this specimen suggests this community has been active for decades, perhaps even hundreds of years.ROV SuBastian/Schmidt Ocean Institute

CW: Gardening; but with swear words.
Just planted a fuck ton of bulbs in the garden. #Anemones, #allium, #tulips, and #fritallaria. Got three different varieties of allium, including a blue variety I don’t recall seeing in the past. Added the blue allium to my front red, white, and blue “victory garden.”
Everything else is in our backyard which is mostly purple flowers but is generally a free for all.

The Borealis Mud Volcano: A hidden sanctuary for marine biodiversity https://phys.org/news/2025-01-borealis-mud-volcano-hidden-sanctuary.html
Sanctuary for vulnerable #Arctic species at the Borealis Mud Volcano: Giuliana Panieri et al. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-55712-x
"the carbonate crusts that characterized Borealis provide a suitably hard substrate for species of #anemones, #serpulids, #demosponges, and sparse #octocorals."

Belinda the surprisingly busy sea sponge takes a whole day to sneeze https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/belinda-sea-sponge-sneezing-1.7426170
"researchers have used 4 years of time-lapse footage from the sea floor of #BritishColumbia to paint a picture of the daily life of a busy #sponge... They learned Belinda has both a daily and an annual routine, changing shape, size and colour with changing seasons. Rarely lonely, Belinda receives visitors from a diverse array of ocean critters, including #snails, #crabs, #SeaStars, & #anemones"

A rare find https://gazette.mun.ca/research/a-rare-find/
"Researchers discovered a densely populated soft #coral garden northeast of #FogoIsland, N.L., during a science and student training expedition in late June... Located in a complex rocky habitat, early estimates suggest the coral garden spans about 10,000 square metres of the sea floor within the Funk Island Deep marine refuge off #NewfoundlandAndLabrador... The diverse marine life includes #anemones, #sponges, basket stars and many soft #corals."

‘Spoon worms lick the seabed with a metre-long tongue’: a voyage into a vanishing #Arctic world https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/feb/03/spoon-worms-lick-the-seabed-with-a-metre-long-tongue-a-voyage-into-a-vanishing-arctic-world
"in places, large numbers of #SeaCucumbers and huge colonies of filter-feeding #FeatherStars appear in the spotlights. We marvel at basketball-sized #sponges flickering across the #scientists’ screens, at apricot-coloured #anemones and star-shaped patterns extending around the burrows of spoon #worms"

One of the best uses of #DNA 🧬 #barcoding is linking different life stages of single #species that appear different from each other and do different things.
In this paper the authors used barcoding to figure out which #polyp (sedentary) and #medusa (swimming) life stages of several #hydrozoans (related to #sea #jellies and sea #anemones) belong to each other.

#Plumose #anemones usually eat plankton & small #sea microorganisms but they'll also eat small fish who wander within reach of their many thin tentacles.
