Isarachnanthus nocturnus, the Banded
Tube-Dwelling Anemone... actually not a "true" anemone
(Order Actinaria), but a close relative to Black Corals (same
Order, Ceriantharia). Tapering, translucent tentacles with
varyingly dark brown bands. Comes out of the substrate at night
(and back in if frightened). Bonaire pix of a small (two inch),
large (four inch wide) specimens. |
