Edwardsia finmarchica [Edwardsia finmarchica]
Description
Edwardsia finmarchica is a small burrowing anemone that blends into the seafloor until it briefly reveals its tentacles. Divers may see it as a delicate, low-profile display—most noticeable when it extends to feed or when a passing current stirs the sediment.
