Urticina lofotensis

I think this was actually on the sign by the parking lot, but I've forgotten it. Will look up later. Also note the crab, again, of unknown species. Reminded me of the coral guard crabs in Hawaii. Wonder if there's a similar relationship at play here. Update many years later: might this be Urticina crassicornis?

First time seeing this under a dock.

Thanks Ken-Ichi !

Same individual as seen in February - but has lost his pull tab. http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/1253257

"Displaying poor judgement, this monster anemone (the base alone was about 7"" in diameter, about 9"" high) was ingesting a plastic bag. It had it about halfway down the hatch before I came along and ruined its fun. After sulking unhappily for a while (see sucked-in photos), it finally put out its tentacles in search of another meal. Yay. Plastic bags and marine life don't mix!"
