- Title:
-
Burrowing Anemone, (Pachycerianthus fimbriatus), tentacles
- The tentacles are just the tip of the anemone. To shield itself from grit, this delicate creature makes a tough leathery tube, sinking it two feet (.6 m) deep into the sand.
When a predator like the barber slug comes by to clip off its tentacles, the anemone retreats quickly down the tube, sometimes pulling the slug in with it! Luckily, an s:"anemone's tentacle's can grow back after such attacks.
