anemone Bunodosoma goanense Family Actiniidae updated Jul 11 Where seen? These large fat dark red anemones are sometimes seen on our northern shores, on rocky shores or attached to other hard surfaces. A small one was seen washed ashore at Pasir Ris. Features: Diameter with tentacles expanded 5-8cm. Body, oral disk and tentacles the same dark red, burgundy colour. Sometimes with five pale or yellowish bars around the mouth. Many short tapered tentacles. Body column thick and short and densely covered with regular rows of small non-sticky bumps. The animal attaches with its broad foot to smooth hard surfaces below the low water line. When exposed at low spring tide, it tucks its tentacles into its body column. |
