Synopsis

Plumose anemones (Metridium senile ) prefer to live in fast moving water and are very common on rocky reefs where the currents bring an endless supply of tiny zooplankton. These common anemones are easily recognised by their abundant, much-branched tentacles, enough of them to create a feathery (plumose) effect.
