Description
Description
The strawberry anemone has a smooth column which is typically red or dark red, with many greenish spots. The tentacles are usually red or purplish. Actinia fragacea is similar in form to the beadlet anemone (Actinia equina) and was at one time considered to be a variant of that species, however, it is typically larger, measuring up to 100 millimetres (3.9 in) across the base. It also has a conspicuous ring of pale blue, red, pink or white spots known as "acrorhagi" around the inside of the top of the column.
