Description
This large anemone has a diameter of between 10 and 12 centimetres. It is best known for its vibrant colours and its central disc area can be green, pink, blue, or brown. Its tentacles are usually a different colour to the central disc and can be blue, mauve, orange or white. When underwater it extends up to 190 short blunt tentacles. These have perforated tips that resemble warts and eject fine streams of water when the animal is stimulated. Tentacles are arranged in four or more whorls which are all of the same length.
