Beadlet anemone

Actinia equina

The beadlet anemone is a good rockpool species for teaching intertidal life because it shows how animals survive changing exposure between high and low tide. It may look simple, but it belongs to the dynamic edge where marine life must handle wave action, sunlight, drying, and shifting water conditions.

An intertidal anemone found in rocky pools and crevices.

Where to notice it

Low-tide rockpools and rocky shorelines.

When to notice it

Best at low tide.

Why it matters

A good entry point into intertidal ecology.
