Snakelocks anemone (Anemonia sulcata) at low tide. The gelatinous nature of this sea anemone prevents it from drying out when exposed to air at low tide. When covered with water, this anemone has long flowing stinging tentacles, used to catch its prey of small fish and crustaceans. It varies in colour from brown to green and violet.
