Habitat:
Anthopleura buddemeieri attaches to rock walls and platforms in high-energy surf areas.
One specimen was attached to the red alga Pterocladiella capitacea growing on rocks
Appearance.
The pedal disc is about the same size as the body column of the sea anemone (column 9-12 mm long, 7-8 mm greatest diameter); gray (darker distally), with red tubercles, and with red punctures.
The oral disc with central mouth on cone, two siphonoglyphs.
The ca. 50 pale, yellow-brown polyps are attached in 2-3 cycles around the oral disc, they are slender and tapering towards the blunt tip, all ca. 5 mm long, 1 mm wide.
Oral stomata are large, marginal stomata are small or absent.
These small anemones are found near the high-water mark on rocky shores composed of smooth rocks and boulders below a dense coastal forest. Singly usually widely scattered, rarely many on one rock. First seen on St. John's Island, Singapore, this sea anemone was later found on other southern rocky shores.
Characteristics:
The diameter of the sea anemone with spread tentacles is only1-2 cm.
The pale body column has pink spots in rows along the body.
A ring of pointed tentacles, pale grayish with pinkish tinge and pinkish tips.
When the animal comes up for air at low tide, it retracts its tentacles into the body column, making it look like a pink bead of jelly with tiny red spots.
