Gem anemone or Gem pimplets are not neccessarily a common find between the tides because they are often over looked or covered by seaweed. The species can be found under rocks, in rockpools or on sand covered stones.

Photography includes animals found at Marazion, Mousehole, Roskilley, Penzance, St. Austell Bay and East Portholland, Cornwall.

The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help
people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
