Discover the mesmerizing beauty of Metridium senile, also known as plumose sea anemones. In November 2008, off the coast of Lofoten, Norway, these delicate creatures adorned a shipwreck with their vibrant colors. At slack water, we observed a fascinating detail - the plumose anemone in its retracted state, revealing intricate patterns and textures. Nature's predator-prey dynamics unfolded before our eyes as purple and ochre sea stars preyed on Pacific blue mussels amidst a group of frilled anemones off Bonaventure Island in the Gulf. Beneath them, common starfish coexisted with plumose anemones in perfect harmony. Witnessing nature's interconnectedness was truly awe-inspiring when we encountered elegant anemones and plumose sea anemones alongside fish. The underwater world came alive as these species interacted seamlessly. In another encounter along the Norwegian coast, orange and white plumose anemones formed a captivating group alongside moon jellyfish. Their contrasting colors created a stunning visual spectacle that left us breathless. Venturing into Foggy Bay in South East Alaska's Inside Passage revealed yet another marvel - fish-eating sea anemones coexisting with their plumose counterparts. This symbiotic relationship showcased nature's ability to adapt and thrive together. Even beyond Norway and Alaska lies White Sea in Karelia, Russia where we discovered more enchanting scenes featuring Plumose Anemone or Frilled Anemone (Metridium senile). These resilient creatures painted the ocean floor with their elegance against the backdrop of this remote location. Plumose sea anemones are truly wonders of marine life that continue to captivate us with their gracefulness wherever they may be found.
