Unknown species from Norway

February 19, 2004
From: Kåre Telnes

Hi!
I found this red blob on a an algae stem. The diameter is approximately 2-3 cm. The depth is 8 meters on a very current exposed location at the western coast of Norway (Stord). Do you have any idea of what it is? I cannot remember ever seeing anything like it before.

Regards

Dear Kåre,
My guess would be a sea anemone, but hopefully someone with knowledge of the North Atlantic fauna can give us a better idea.
Best wishes
