Daisy Anemone --- Cereus pedunculatus
The Daisy Anemone, Cereus pedunculatus, can be found on the shore in tidal pools and also in deeper water to a depth of about 50m. It has a trumpet-shaped column which typically is hidden in a crack or fissure in a rock or buried in softer ground with the base of the column attached to a stone. It is extremely variable in colour and may be buff, purple, brown or almost black - or even subtle combinations of these colours. Grows to a maximum size of 15cms across the disc but is more typically seen in the 5cm to 7cm range.
A southern and western species and although there are some records from the east, it may be that these are incorrect and relate to some of the very similar Sagartia species.
