Found this little guy outside the interpretive center. They were everywhere, and my guess is that they are non-native. They had a slight yellow hue to the tentacles. I have no idea what they are and any help with id would be appreciated. The ring is about 3/4'' and almost every anemone seen was about that size or smaller.

Ubiquitous in the lake, but one thing of note: Jim mentioned it's the favored prey of Cuthona perca, which is also in the Lake. *tents fingers*

This is the onion anemone, Paranthus rapiformis. It is a sand-dwelling anemone. If you dig it up and it contracts, it looks exactly like a white onion. The expanded visible parts, the tentacles and oral disc, can be beige, greenish, or pinkish. New to the database.
