Had a look thanks for the input but i don't think it is one of them. The piccy was taken in St Abbs and the map of the recorded sightings of the Actinothoe sphyrodeta on the link do not show it as resident off the east coast.

This little fellow may be nearer the mark then. It does say in the blurb that it comes in red too.

Ah, go on. You only wrote that to annoy me, didn't you? It's as planty as a dolphin's fishy.

I'm pretty sure its a dahlia anemone, Urticina Felina. Could possibly be an elegant anemone, Sagartia Elegans, but their tentacles are generally greater in number and not as neatly arranged as the dahlias. Nice pic !
