trumpet anemone

Aiptasia mutabilis, also known as the Trumpet anemone, Rock anemone, and Glass anemone, is a species of sea anemone typically found attached to substrates in cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Its unique trumpet shape gives it its common name and it can grow to be 12 cm, having a column between 3 and 6 cm in size. Like many cnidarians, they rely on nematocysts for protection and to capture prey.
