Below the waves, there are many sightings which may not be commonplace to those who do not SCUBA dive. I took took this image at Sandy Island in early September. – Mike Strong, L’Etete This is a beautiful photo of a sea anemone, although I don’t know which species. This is a very difficult group and one that is poorly known in the region. Estimates suggest that there may be 100 species in Maritime waters, but far fewer are common and widespread here. I have not seen any information on tube anemones (or cerianthids) around New Brunswick. As a group these spectacular animals are more common in tropical and sub-tropical waters. The rubbery tube that supports the tentacles is constructed from the animal’s own mucous. Extending down into the substrate, it provides a well-concealed spot into which to contract. – Don McAlpine
