Common name: Ball Anemone

Scientific name: Pseudocorynactis

Pseudocorynactis is a genus of anemones known for their distinctive ball-like appearance when retracted. They are nocturnal, often hiding during the day and extending their tentacles at night to feed. These anemones are not photosynthetic and require regular feeding with meaty foods. They can be aggressive, stinging nearby corals and invertebrates, so placement in the aquarium should be considered carefully to avoid harm to other inhabitants.
