Rose anemone by Sherri Damlo Via Flickr: Rose anemones (Scientific name: Urticina piscivora) are so beautiful with their fleshy tentacles and alien-like mouth. Killer! Photo taken with a Pentax 100mm macro lens in Newport, OR.

Before you get carried away in the business of Monday, remember that sometimes, you just have to stop and smell the rose anemones*.

The sand rose anemone and white-spotted rose anemones are both in the genus Urticina, which also includes the fish-eating and painted anemones on display at the Aquarium. Find a volunteer guide to help you collect them all when you're here!

*Just don’t get too close...

Forgot about this one. Picked up about 3 weeks ago. He is still hiding in the rocks. SO not much to see,
