Burrowing Anemone?

Post by dphershman »

Was diving at Fox Island West Wall and saw this.... thought at first that it was some kind of tube worm but then looked closer and thought it might be a burrowing anemone of some kind. Anyone know?

Thanks!

Looks a lot like a Tube Dwelling Anemone, but not quite. Any shots of it looking straight down on it?

it seems a bit stout for a tube Anemone.... but alas I don't have a shot from a different angle.
