We took a short drive out from San Francisco and spent the afternoon searching the tide pools for sea anemones. I had never gotten up close and personal with the creatures before, so upon first sighting, I couldn’t help but poke the squishy body. I instantly became fascinated. Here are some fun facts.
– Sea anemones are carnivorous. They eat fish, snails, and crabs that pass by their stinging tentacles.
– The tentacles inject poison into the prey or predator, which paralyzes the passerby.
– Clownfish aka Nemo are unaffected by the sea anemone’s poisons and make themselves a home within the sea anemone’s tentacles.
– They’re hitchhikers! Sometimes sea anemones will hop on board crabs to catch a ride.

PS: We saw some harbor seals while we were by the tide pools too!

Love Moss beach.. Liz & I were there last year spring break.. I want to show you my pictures.. but pictures do not do it justice. You must be there on top of the cliff looking out through the trees and hear the ocean….
