Camouflaged Anemone

Oulactis muscosa

Description:

Camouflaged anemones like Oulactis muscosa, shown here, have sticky surfaces that catch gravel and fragments of shell and seaweed. Most of their body is embedded in crevices or sand, and when the tentacles are withdrawn the entire animal is hidden.

Wonderful sea anemone! Haven't seen this one yet.

(Pls note, though, sea anemones aren't mollusks.)
