Also known as the hell fire anemone due to its very painful sting.
From the Indo-Pacific. Can reach 12 inches. Prefers moderate lighting. Has zooanthellae but also needs to be fed. Reported to kill fish. Minimum 50 gallon tank.
Does best in moderately strong currents, and needs a deep sand bed to bury its foot.
Actinodendron plumosum is a night emerging species. May bury itself in the sand. No clown fish naturally associate with it. Commensal Shrimp (Periclimenes) will host this anemone.

Steelgluer ~ Sorry didn't see this until now, don't know much about them myself other than they show up frequently on diver beware warnings because they do have a powerful sting. Did manage to locate this information if you like.

Hey thanks. Been watching how this anem acts. 1 real thing that was interesting to me is at night it takes all it arms and puts them in its mouth, then as soon as the lights come on the next day one by one it pulls them out. Its really pretty cool.
