Actinothoe plebeia [Actinothoe plebeia]
Description
Often found on soft substrates, this anemone can be surprisingly common in suitable areas, though it may still be overlooked due to its modest appearance. Divers typically notice it as a small, anchored structure in the sediment with tentacles that can extend and withdraw. It’s a great “bottom-scanner” species—slow, careful searching often pays off with a close-up view of its subtle movements.
