This genus comprises anemones that are often found in sandy or muddy bottoms, where their cryptic behavior helps protect them from predators while allowing them to ambush unsuspecting prey. Sagartiogeton species are adept at adapting to varied lighting conditions and can often be found in both shallow and moderately deep waters, contributing to the biodiversity of their habitats.
