Bali Sea Anemones and their relatives

This page links to photos of sea anemones and their relatives that we photographed on several dive trips to Bali, Indonesia. We did not make a special effort to find and photograph anemones, so these pages represent only a small fraction of the species that are sure to be there. Animals that resemble anemones are in fact not always too closely related and are distributed across several orders in the phylum Cnideria. Many of our species are only tentatively identified to genus or species. Coloration within many species is highly variable. We welcome corrections at uwkwaj@yahoo.com..
