Tube-dwelling anemone
The tube-dwelling anemone lives inside of a tube made from mucus and thread-like ptychocysts. Unlike other anemones it does not attach itself to rocks but can move freely up and down within the tube. When disturbed it quickly withdraws into its tube. The individual in the footage was found at a depth of 200 meters. It has brown and white tentacles.
