Edwardsia jonesii [Edwardsia jonesii]
Description
Edwardsia jonesii is a benthic sea anemone that tends to live attached to hard surfaces, sometimes in areas with moderate currents. Divers may notice it as a compact anemone with tentacles that can look like a soft crown, becoming more apparent when it extends. If you watch closely, you may see rhythmic changes in posture as it responds to passing water and food availability.
