Range: Indo-Pacific Ocean

Natural Environment: Found on sandy and rubble covered bottoms in coral reefs

General Husbandry: Has a temperature range of 72 to 82°F (22 – 27°C). A singly living burrowing anemone that looks somewhat like a soft coral. When threatened it retracts into the sand. Photosynthetic/suspension feeder, however, can be fed meaty foods in captivity. Rarely collected for the trade, and since it has a potent toxin/sting, is a fish eater. In fact has a very painful sting if touched, so keep your hands away! Better left in the wild.
