Hi All,

Longtime lurker -- first time poster.

I have shown this to one person who thought it was an anemone eating a jelly, but the body of the anemone doesn't look right -- and the body of the jelly didn't look right either.

Pics were taken off Big Sur, CA.

I am not a photographer, I just take a camera to help me remember what I see. Please pardon the picture quality.

Yup, that's an anemone eating a jelly ... our metridiums (plumose anemones) eat lots of 'em ...
