Description Deeply-folded oral disc (more pronounced with size), covered with short, stubby and slightly tapering tentacles (average 8-10 mm) that move constantly, making it look like its vibrating. The oral disc lies at the surface of sand and the presence of many tentacles gives it a carpet-like
appearance, thus the name carpet anemone. Tentacles are extremely sticky but do not cause stinging sensation.
