Athenerian Burrowing Anemones [Edwardsia]
Description
Athenerian burrowing anemones are small anemones that live in sand or rubble, with only their tentacles visible when conditions are right. Divers often notice them as subtle, partially buried “puffs” of color that extend and retract as they capture passing plankton.
