Edwardsia handi [Edwardsia handi]
Description
Edwardsia handi is a cryptic anemone that tends to blend into its surroundings, making it a fun find for careful observers. Underwater, it may look like a compact cluster of tentacles anchored to the substrate, ready to feed when food passes nearby. Divers often notice it most when it slightly opens in calmer moments between currents.
