Brooding (Proliferating) Anemones  (Epiactis spp.)

Some commons species are the Proliferating Anemone [Epiactis prolifera] which grows to a maximum size just over 3" wide and up to 4" tall, and can be found off the pacific coast ranging from Alaska to California. The Brooding Anemone [Epiactis lisbethae] grows to 3" wide and only 1.5" high, its juveniles are often less obvious than the Proliferating Anemone. Another interesting species is the Sand Accumulating Brooding Anemone [Epiactis ritteri] which has adhesive pads that often has sand stuck to them. A similar species, The Warty Columned Anemone [Aulactinia incubans] rears its young internally and releases them through pores in its tentacles.
