Tube anemones are fascinating invertebrates belonging to the group Ceriantharia, relatives of true sea anemones. In nature they live buried in soft sand where they build a protective tube beneath the substrate, extending only their long flowing tentacles into the water column to capture plankton and small prey. When disturbed, the entire animal can rapidly withdraw into its tube for protection.
Tube anemones are non-photosynthetic and rely on feeding rather than light for nutrition. They also possess a powerful sting and should be given plenty of space from other corals and small livestock.
