Description
The Yellow Cluster Anemone is a benthic marine species found in the Pacific Ocean. They inhabit rocky substrates and form colonies of polyps that are bright yellow in color. They feed on small particles in the water, which they capture using their tentacles. They are known for their ability to reproduce quickly, resulting in large clusters of individuals in a relatively short period of time.
