Giant Deep-sea Anemones [Bathyphellia]

Description

Bathyphellia is a genus of large anemones that inhabit deep-sea environments. These anemones are known for their substantial size and robust structure. They have a wide base that attaches to hard substrates, and their bodies can extend significantly to expose numerous long, thick tentacles. Bathyphellia species are often found in areas with strong currents, which they utilize to capture plankton and other small particles for nutrition. Their presence in the deep sea contributes to the complexity and diversity of deep-sea ecosystems.
