Other Anemones Of the other anemones the most often encountered are the species in family Sagartiidae which include three species of the genus Sagartia . Species of this genus come with the tentacles and disc in all colours and a mixture of colours except blue. They can sometimes be found scattered over the seashore like daisies on a lawn. They have 'catch tentacles' that are temporarily enlarged ordinary tentacles. In the south and west from the same family, the multi-tentacled Daisy Anemone , Cereus pedunculatus , can often be found embedded in limestone cracks in shore pools.
Some colonies are very colourful and others are a buff-brown.
The Gem Anemone , Bunodactis verrucosa , is an attractive grey and translucent patterned anemone that is found only on wave battered shores in the south-west where its main diet consist of very small mussels. The Pimplet Anemone , Anthopleura ballii is another species coloured green with symbiotic algae. It is regularly recorded emitting sperm or eggs. This species contains beads and is unable to retract its tentacles.
