Haddon's Sea Anemone

Stichodactyla haddoni

• Group: Anemone

Haddon's sea anemone spreads a broad carpet of short, crowded tentacles across sandy reef bottoms, wide enough to shelter clownfish and shrimp among its stinging folds. Like other anemones it is a carnivore, snaring small invertebrates that brush against it.
