Anyone know if the above are photosynthetic as I find them completely under rocks on out coast as well as in bright light. They look more nps really?

Thanks

They're not a vendor on RC, so I apologize in advance if I shouldn't be posting this link. But they do have some information on A. equina.

The very helpful guys at coldwater aquatics have confirmed its a non photosynthetic anemone.
