Pachycerianthus [Pachycerianthus]

Description

Pachycerianthus is a genus of tube anemones known for their robust and often large size compared to other Cerianthidae. These anemones have a distinctive appearance, with two rings of tentacles: a larger set for capturing prey and a smaller set for protection. They construct durable tubes in sandy or muddy marine floors, which they rarely leave. Pachycerianthus species are important predators in their habitats, feeding on a variety of small organisms.
