Biodiversity, evolution, oceans, people. Opinions and enthusiasm my own.
It really looks like Epiactis prolifera. But nudibranchs can be good mimics

I don't think its well studied enough to characterize that precisely. But not unlike those things

You're really grooving on the Phlycts today!!

Yes! The crab uses the anemones as a weapon.

There's some evidence that the 🦀 manipulate the anemones into staying small and not developing all of the anatomical structures that they would typically have. Which could make a body angry...

These lil dudes are angry too. Zippy and, I can only imagine, peeved at being subjected to this.
