Jewel Anemone
Corynactis viridis
Sighting evidence at Cabo Vilán Reef, Galicia
Jewel anemones carpet exposed rock faces at Cabo Vilán in dense colonies of vivid pink, orange, green, and white, creating what Galician divers describe as stained-glass windows on the reef. Although they resemble tiny anemones they are actually colonial anthozoans more closely related to corals, and their colour depends on symbiotic algae and local water chemistry.
