Ceriantheomorphe [Ceriantheomorphe]

Description

Ceriantheomorphe is known for species that are slightly different from typical tube anemones in terms of their morphology and behavior. These anemones have a distinctive appearance with a broad, flared oral disc and long, slender tentacles. They inhabit muddy or sandy substrates in marine environments, secreting a tube that is buried in the substrate. Their tentacles are adept at capturing a variety of small marine organisms, playing a role in the benthic food web.
