Burrowing Anemones [Edwardsiidae]

Description

Edwardsiidae, known as burrowing anemones, are small to medium-sized sea anemones that live embedded in soft substrates or burrowed in mud or sand. They are characterized by a long, worm-like body and a small number of tentacles. These anemones often display striking patterns and colors, and they can retract their bodies into their burrows when threatened.
