Cerianthus incertus [Cerianthus incertus]
Description
Cerianthus incertus is a burrowing anemone that constructs a tube in soft sediment, using it as a safe retreat. Divers may notice the tentacles only when the animal is actively feeding, forming a fringed crown that filters tiny particles from the water.
