Ceriantharian Anemones [Ceriantharia]

Description

Ceriantharian anemones live in long, tube-like burrows in soft sediment, with their tentacles emerging like a curtain. Divers often spot them as a subtle patch of sand with a dramatic fringe of tentacles that can retract quickly when the area is disturbed.
