Intertidal surveys were conducted at 5 sites within the Helford Estuary complex using ten 1 metre sq quadrats to record average abundance of hexacoralline anthozoan species. In this study which looked at the hexacoralline anthozoans (sea anemones and corals) no less than twenty species were found to occur withing the HVMCA, many in considerable numbers. Two were of particular interest being rated as Nationally Scarce, Isozoanthus sulcatus (Ginger tiny) and Aiptasia mutabilis (Trumpet anemone).
