Description:

-**Corrected to Sunburst Anemone (Anthopleura sola)**- Some Sunburst Anemone's can be pretty green and are easlily confused with Giant Green Anemone. The bright green can be attributed to green pigment in the anemone epidermis and to symbiotic algae that live in the tissues that line the gut.
