is not that the type of anemone known as sea tomato (tomate de mar)?
Thanks also for posting the link SheaEckert, I found something there that helped me ID my old spotting! thanks..
that's amazing... it would've looked differently to others.. probably a jelly candy that a camper left
Thank you! Google images of Waratah Anemone look like an exact match, how cool!
http://lazy-lizard-tales.blogspot.com/2008/05/changis-hidden-wonders.html ... This may be what you are looking for... According to this site this is an anemone waiting for the tide to return.
it looks like an anemone with its tentacles pulled in
me worse...but looks all too cool
