Hell Fire or Tree Anemone

Actinodendron is a Genus of sea anemones, commonly known as “Fire Anemones” or “Hell Fire Anemones.” They are appropriately named for the powerful sting that they can deliver. The anemone’s delicate foot is located on the bottom. The foot has simple muscle fibers that help the anemone move and anchor onto rocks. This species of anemone can grow up to 12 inches in diameter. Fire anemones are often found in shades of red, cream, brown, blue, green, and purple. Their tentacles are long and branched giving them a broccoli-like appearance
