2/11 Brooding anemone, TMX cost, Puget Sound chemicals, BC LNG protests

Brooding anemone [Mary Jo Adams]

Brooding anemone Epiactis sp.
his is a small anemone, with the crown up to 2 inches in diameter. (The base may be somewhat wider than the crown.) The color varies. It is often red or pink when on rocks and green or brown when on eelgrass. Look for the radiating white lines originating from the oral disk and on the base and column. Also, watch for baby Epiactis attached to the base of the mother. They look like little buds and will stay attached to her for several months until they're large enough to live on their own. There are several similar species of Epiactis. (Mary Jo Adams/Sound Water Stewards)
