Daisy Anemone
Cereus pedunculatus
This anemone has a central disc and tentacles arranged like petals, earning the “daisy” nickname. Colours range from pale brown to greenish, sometimes with stripes or spots. Around Lihou, look for it in deeper pools or on sandy patches between rocks—its tentacles spread out like a small, flower-like creature underwater.
