Haliplanella lineata (Lined anemone)
Copyright ©
2005 Mary Jo Adams
This
is a relatively uncommon anemone and its small size makes it hard
to spot. When closed up, it is only about ¼ inch in
diameter. If you find it, however, the orange or pale yellow
stripes on an olive green stalk make it easy to identify.
Haliplanella lineata is thought to have been introduced
to the West Coast of North America about a hundred years ago when
Pacific oysters were brought in.
This
species is also commonly referred to as the striped anemone.
