Parantheopsis [Parantheopsis]

Description

Parantheopsis represents a group of tube anemones with a somewhat cryptic lifestyle, often found in colder water regions. These anemones have a simple structure, with a relatively small number of tentacles compared to other genera. They secrete a thin, flexible tube in which they reside, partially buried in soft marine substrates. Their feeding strategy involves using their tentacles to catch small particles and organisms from the surrounding water.
