Info

Synandwakia multitentaculata was first described in 2003 from South Korea; it is a relatively small sea anemone with 200 tentacles.
Its oral disc features several white radial stripes surrounding a slit-like mouth.

The body is flesh-colored, pastel peach, and pastel yellow toward the base.
The mouth area is burnt orange, with white spots at the base and tips of the tentacles, as well as white stripes in the upper part of the scaphus.

When alive, the stalk is uniformly wide throughout and tapers downward toward the physa.

Synandwakia multitentaculata occurs in its habitat alongside the sea anemones Paracondylactis hertwigi (Wassilieff, 1908), Edwardsia japonica Carlgren, 1931, Edwardsia japonica Carlgren, 1931Carlgren, 1931, the cylinder anemone Cerianthus filiformis Carlgren, 1922, and the sea cucumber Protankyra bidentata.

Unfortunately, the available sources on the sea anemone do not record data on water depth or water temperature.
