Corynactis californica anemones carpet substructure of the Wreck of the HMCS Yukon in San Diego. The shipwrecks of Wreck Alley are a great place to see vast expanses of rainbow-hued Corynactis anemones. Deliberately sunk in 2000 as part of San Diego's Wreck Alley to form an artifical reef, the HMCS Yukon is a 366-foot-long former Canadian destroyer. It is encrusted with a variety of invertebrate life, including Cornyactis anemones which provide much of the color seen here, Corynactis californica
