Yet another ID request

Hi everyone,

I saw these at the breakwater yesterday. I am assuming they are closed anemones. Most of the large anemones have lighter colored bases. Can anyone help me with these? Or is it something else entirely.



Thanks.

Keyhole Limpets I think.

EDIT: I think this may be a juv Giant Keyhole Limpet, Megathura crenulata, hopefully someone can come along and confirm.

yep, most certainly a keyhole limpet, pretty common actually

I'm a newbie in Norcal waters, so nothing is common for me yet! Thanks to you both.

Cool! It kind of looks like an 8 ball.
