A pom pom anemone (Liponema brevicornis) atop a small ledge. This is a verylarge, pink anemone that looks just like the common name, a pom pom.Unlike other anemones, its mouth (oral disk) is underneath it and the anemone is not attached. Instead, this anemone is like a tumbleweed. (Image credit: Ed Bowlby, NOAA/Olympic Coast NMS; NOAA/OAR/Office of Ocean Exploration)
