Underwater colony of "Metridium giganteum" commonly known as the Giant White Plumed Anemone. This location is a favorite for advanced scuba divers, and is normally reached by an underwater swim from Breakwater Cove. Hundreds of specimens of this large ghostly creature can be found here and elsewhere in the Monterey area.
