Sea anemone - Stichodactyla haddoni

Although it's common to find the anemone Stichodactyla haddoni in the algae and on the sandy slopes at Bigej Meck, some individuals have white rounded tentacle tips and more "ruffled" edges than others. This photo was taken of one of those rounded ruffles and had a small pair of shrimp eyes peering out from among the tentacles. Each "ball tip" was probably 5-6mm in diameter.
