Tube anemone - Cerianthid

Large tube sand anemones are often seen with a fountain of thin tentacles gracefully extended in the current. This one had completely retracted leaving a large Thor amboinensis shrimp to seek protection within the pile of spaghetti like tentacles. If you look closely, there are also 4 very tiny shrimp seeking shelter as well.
