About the Beadlet Anemone
This is a red sea anemone found in tide pools and shallow rocky shores, which contracts into a rounded shape resembling a pickled plum when the tide goes out. Along the coast of the Manazuru Peninsula in Kanagawa Prefecture it lives alongside the Sango sea anemone, and the shoreline is protected.
