Info
Edwardsia timida is a burrowing anemone with a slender, white striped or spotted body column.
Its tentacles are long and range from translucent orange-pink to occasionally leathery yellow-brown.
The benthic animal usually has 20 to 28 tentacles, but specimens with up to 36 tentacles have been found.
The tentacles are arranged in 3 cycles, always with four in the first cycle, these are stronger and sometimes shorter than the other tentacles.
The anemone buries its foot in sandy or gravelly bottoms, it occurs in sheltered places from the lower shore to the shallow sublittoral and is usually abundant.
Similar species: Edwardsiella carnea, but it lives among rocks.
