The Strawberry anemone ("Actinia fragacea") appears to be confined to the English Channel and south-west England where it is generally found on rocks of the lower shoreline. It has a column which is typically red or dark red, with spots of green, yellow or blue. The tentacles are usually red or purplish. "Actinia fragacea" is similar in form to the Beadlet anemone ("Actinia equina") but is typically larger, measuring up to 100mm across the base.

A Californian species "Corynactis californica" shares the same common name.
