Branching anemone
Scientific name : Actinodendron cf. plumosum
Large anemone (diameter 30 cm) with long, slender tentacles, densely covered with spaced clusters of vesicles. Grey or greenish colour.
Confusion exists in the taxonomy of the Actinodendron genus. We used the cf. shortage (for compare), indicating that we are still uncertain about the species identification. According to our criteria, Actinodendron cf. arboreum has erect, branching tentacles, densely covered with vesicles; Actinodendron cf. glomeratum has often horizontal tentacles, running on the bottom, and less densely covered with vesicles; A. cf. plumosum has softer and slender tentacles, even less densely covered with vesicles.
Associated organisms With Thor amboinensis shrimp.
