TUBE-DWELLING ANEMONE (Pachycerianthus fimbriatus)

1 Answer

Answer :

TUBE-DWELLING ANEMONE

(Pachycerianthus fimbriatus)

Habitat: Sandy bottom areas from Alaska to Baja California

Size: 30 cm (12 in)

Position in food web: Carnivorous suspension

feeder: Feeds on organic particles, plankton, small fish, and invertebrates. Prey for nudibranchs.

Interesting facts:

The tube of the tube-dwelling anemone can reach several feet down into the substrate and serves as an escape for the anemone when predators try to eat it.

The tentacles of the tube-dwelling anemone are easily regenerated so attacks from predatory nudibranchs are rarely fatal.

The tentacles of the tube-dwelling anemone, like several other species of anemones, absorb ultraviolet light and shine it back as visible light giving them a fluorescent orange color.

Relatives: Sea jellies, corals, and sea fans
