Spotted this large anemone during low tide at Fort Ward. It was ~10 inches long. It doesn’t look like any painted anemone I’ve ever seen before but all sources point to it being the correct id. Second photo is of the same anemone once the tide started coming in. It’s appearance changed dramatically and it appeared to be oozing threads that floated away. Could they have been eggs?
