About Alicia mirabilis Johnson, 1861
Scientific name: Alicia mirabilis Johnson, 1861. This species of anemone has the common name berried anemone, because during the day it resembles a pile of berries. At night, A. mirabilis expands its column to a maximum height of 40 cm and opens its tentacles. When fully extended, the tentacles can actually be longer than the height of the column. Stinging cells are found in both the tentacles and the berry-like structures that give the species its common name.
