Edwardsia profunda [Edwardsia profunda]
Description
As its name suggests, Edwardsia profunda is associated with deeper habitats, so sightings are most likely on deeper dives or in regions with accessible depth. Divers who encounter it may find a low, anchored anemone with tentacles held out to capture drifting food. In low-light conditions, its form can stand out against the seafloor, making it a memorable find for deep-water explorers.
