Lots of these at Arisaig. Last bit of mainland before Eigg, Rhum and Skye.

Excellent, great vid', look like beadlet anemone - actinia equina (depth of water and size as far as i can tell from vid' is a good indicator. Real question is the body generally a uniform red or with spots?). Can I ask what camera you got the vid' with as I'm looking out for a new one with underwater capabilities? Still great to wake up and get a little clip of the sea, now where's my mask and fins

Thanks for sharing! I haven't seen them in the wild since I was on a trip with the university to Brittany. Guess what, while there I worked with the Sea Anemones! Tried to find out at what distances from the low tide you find them in the pools. Fascinating things!

All red no spots. Lots all over rocks in more sheltered areas. it was my brother's Gopro HD camera. Amazing bit of kit.

All red, then definitely a Beadlet and not a Strawberry (that generally prefers deeper water).
Still got me itching to jump in the water though , the weekends not to far away.
Thanks for the heads up on the Gopro
