Magnificent Anemone [Heteractis magnifica]
Description
Divers often spot this anemone as a dramatic, dome-shaped “carpet” of flowing tentacles that can glow in shades of green, brown, or gold. It’s a favorite home for clownfish and other small reef dwellers, so you may see tiny fish peeking from the tentacles’ shelter.
