Red-Striped Anemone (Epiactis australiensis)

Information Species under review The genus Epiactis is being reviewed within Australia so some debate around species exists some records show E. thompsoni as Australian and as such could be this species whilst others disagree

Colour pattern varies, usually with Red and white stripes run vertically up the body, the white sometimes turning a strong yellow or even lime green near the elevated mouth. 60 or so tentacles are arranged in 3 whorls
