Anthopleura artemisia
Beautiful anemone that comes in a range of colors. This is what I call the gray form, but you can see yellowish ones in the last photo. I have also found them in orange, neon green, and pink

Beautiful!
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
