A profusion of brightly coloured life inhabits shallow-water rocks at Folger Pinnacle. Some of the organisms in this community are the vibrantly bright orange Blood stars (Henrica sp.), Purple encrusting Hydrocoral (Stylantheca sp.), Giant barnacles (Balanus nubilus) that are surrounded by compound tunicates and the bright white Giant Plumose anemones (Metridium giganteum) that are hanging off the edge.
