Behold the wonders of tide pools! I was lucky enough on my last visit to the Pacific Coast, to have a very low tide. It's like walking into a different world when going to visit the creatures of the tide pools.

Sea anemones are pretty cool. They certainly are odd looking and look even creepier when they are not submerged in water (unlike these). Their tentacles are filled with stinging cells that paralyze small animals in the tide pools. These animals are then pushed towards the center where the anemone eats it.

On the Washington coast most sea anemones are green like these, but there are a few that are more of a violet/purple color.
