Phlytenactis tuberculosa
Invertebrate
Cnidaria
Anthozoa
Actiniidae
Quite different from most other anemone species - it does not permanently attach its basal disc but moves about by crawling or drifting. The column is straight and covered with hundreds of tiny vesicles that resemble warts.
Known throughout New Zealand but is more common in the South and especially at Stewart island. Low intertidal to subtidal.
Predator.
