Ceriantharian Anemones [Ceriantheopsis]
Description
These anemones live in long, tube-like structures anchored in the seabed, so divers typically see a fringe of tentacles emerging from a sandy or muddy burrow. Their tentacles can look feathery and delicate, and they may withdraw into the tube when disturbed.
