Jewel anemone  (Corynactis viridis)

The jewel anemone is so-called because of its spectacular colouration. Individuals may be bright green, orange, red, pink or white and the tentacles and their tips are typically contrasting colours (3). The body of this anemone, correctly known as the ‘column' is smooth, and has a rather squat appearance (3). Up to 100 tentacles, each terminating in a small swelling, are arranged in three rings around the mouth, which is situated at the top of a small cone (4).
