Anemone id help!

[ISpeakForTheSeas]

Looks like Bundosoma Cavernata or warty sea anemone based on the collection location, size, and the spots on the column.

This got me taking a second look at B. cavernatum because I'd only seen them with a lot more "warts" than this, but it seems at least some populations of specimens have lower numbers like this.

So, yeah, I'm inclined to agree that it may be Bunodosoma cavernatum - at least if you're measuring the tentacles and oral disk for that measurement of just over 3 cm.

Any chance you could get some close-up, moderately bright, white light pics of a larger specimen?

I don't ID nems too often, so a top-down, straight-on pic of the mouth and tentacles and a straight-on, side-shot of the foot/column of the anemone (basically everything from the tentacles down) would be helpful for me.

As a side note, are there some Diadumene lineata specimens mixed in with the others in that third pic?

Looks like it! The foot really stands out with those stripes. They have been separated and probably tagged! Great eye.

Correct! That is the id we made at the lab! Thanks All!
