I took a photo of a green sea anemone in a rock pool , it was about 10 cm big. Pretty sure the anemones in this pool are normally a light gold colour, I think it was green from eating all the chlorophyl from the sea lettuce washed up in the storm.
I'm not sure this post reproduces how beautifully translucent green this creature was.
Wow I have to give this beach a visit one day. The biodiversity is great. Maybe I just never paid enough attention to it at other beaches.
They're not my anemone. They're my friend
They are. ๐ also, I think the photo I took is pretty good. It's just an old iPhone 7
the water is so clear and there is practically no reflection off the surface

Oh that's a great find. Beautiful. And so nice to be a regular visitor to a spot so that you start to see little treasures ๐
