This underwater beauty lives up to its name, with a circular to oblong-body covered in short, pom-pom like tentacles arranged in a whorl. Also known as the “tentacle-shedding anemone” it has a fascinating defense mechanism. Each tentacle has a sphincter muscle at its base, allowing it to detach a tentacle when threatened, helping it escape predators.
