Hello everyone. Maybe someone knows. Help me identify the type of anemone. At first glance, this anemone shouldn't be in the North Sea.

I apologize, I'm not an expert, but the video claims that this is the anemone Striata, an endemic species of the Mediterranean. Judging by the photo, it looks very similar, so why not?

This is what interests me!! because the video was filmed in the North Sea, not in the Mediterranean.

Your question was about the definition of a species, so the fact that an endemic species of the Mediterranean is found in the North is undoubtedly amazing, but agree that it would be even more surprising to see an identical anemone of a different species in the nearby sea. Overall, it's very interesting how this anemone ended up so far away and how long it ultimately lived in the North.

It seems that there are many of them there, she is definitely not alone..)) I wonder if it's possible to keep them in an aquarium??
