Plumose Anemone

White and orange plumose anemones have colonised the entirety of the Breda's accessible surfaces, their feathery forms swaying in the slight current and creating textures that make the wreck immediately recognisable in photographs. They are among the longest-lived invertebrates on Scottish wrecks, with established colonies persisting for decades and providing settlement substrate for dozens of associated invertebrate species. Their density here makes macro photography rewarding even without moving from a single location.
