I have never dived with a camera before I got to try out my Christmas present this past week. ✨

This is a Giant Caribbean anemone (Condylactis gigantea). While its long translucent arms tipped with fluorescent green are impressive when you’re swimming right next to them, the camera reveals the true colors. A stunning reminder of how beautiful reef life can be.

Sea anemones might hold secrets to immortality. Researchers found stem cells in Nematostella vectensis that regenerate endlessly, showing no signs of ageing. Unlocking how they work could help us better understand human ageing

Solving a marine mystery: How #anemonefish avoid stings from their sea anemone hosts
https://phys.org/news/2025-02-marine-mystery-anemonefish-sea-anemone.html

Anemonefish use #SialicAcid metabolism as Trojan horse to avoid giant #SeaAnemone stinging: Natacha Roux et al. https://bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12915-025-02144-8

"anemonefish have evolved to maintain very low levels of sialic acid in their skin mucus to avoid triggering the release of stinging cells in their sea anemone hosts."

La anémona burbuja (Entacmaea quadricolor) recibe su nombre por los engrosamientos de los tentáculos de las colonias de individuos jóvenes cercanas a la superficie. Es la compañera inseparable de 14 especies de peces payaso (Amphiprioninae). 📷Jan (Arny) Messersmith #anemona #seaanemone

Some sea life from my low tide walk last Wednesday, a minus 3.1 low tide.
1) Aggregating Anemone (Anthopleura elegantissima)
2) Orange Sea Pen (Ptilosarcus gurneyi)
3) Egg-yolk Jelly (Phacellophora camtschatica)
4) Abandoned wharf with two dogs

Genetic adaptations of #SeaAnemones to #hydrothermal environment https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adh0474

"the researchers found it had 13 mitochondrial permeability transition genes... Such genes have been found to assist in detoxifying metals. Thus, having a lot of them would make sense for an organism that lives in a place with high levels of #HeavyMetals."

Some pictures from our dive in Nea Peramos a couple of weeks ago with @slomo .

Featuring an octopus looking at us, an anemone holding a sea shell, a beautiful abalone shell, and a landscape full of damselfish.

I can't decide if this painted shell turned out interesting, or a dismal disappointment. It's supposed to be a tide pool with anemones, urchins, starfish, and barnacles, but... I was too excited by the subject matter of "tide pool" (I love tide pools), and didn't give enough thought to design.

Next time, I'll focus on just one creature and perhaps some bladderwrack.

I find that when a painting has gone wrong, it almost always went wrong in the initial design phase. I'm always sorry when I "wing it" instead of thoroughly working through questions on an initial sketch. I sometimes wish I could be more free-flowing in my approach, but, well, that's just not who I am.

310-million-year-old #fossil blobs might not be #jellyfish after all

An abundant #SeaAnemone from the #Carboniferous #MazonCreek Lagerstӓtte, USA https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/spp2.1479

An ancient #animal called #Essexella may have been a type of burrowing #sea #anemone with a barrel-shaped body, not a jellyfish as some #scientists thought.

The tentacles of a juvenile beadlet anemone (Actinia equina) are lusciously protected from drying out with a film of water and mucus.

I had to include another beadlet anemone (Actinia equina) in my 2022 favourite photos roundup! This individual has it’s beautiful tentacles on full show. Delightful!

I could post a million favourite photos of the plumose anemones (Metridium senile) I saw dock fouling in Plymouth this autumn. This was one of my top finds because it was so chonky!

Who doesn’t love a good beadlet anemone (Actinia equina) blob? I was particularly attracted to this one because of its near-perfect dome-ness, it’s pin-striped suit and that hint of electric blue on its base.

The stunning beautiful snakelocks anemone (Anemonia viridis). We don’t see these in Norfolk, but I was lucky to encounter them in both Scotland and Devon this year. Those pink tips! 💕

This North Sea tube anemone (Cerianthus lloydii) wasn’t found in the North Sea, but in a sea Loch off the the Atlantic (I know the North Sea is part of the Atlantic too, but this was on the west side of Scotland rather than the east). They live all around the UK, and I saw this one intertidally up in the Scottish Highlands. The tentacles retract into the tube when disturbed. It was an exciting find!
