Description:
Pale anemones are general white to tan or brown in color and often live in dense aggregations.  Approximately 1 inch in height, pale anemones may have as many as 100 tentacles.  Most tentacles are short, and are intermixed with long ones.  The oral disc usually measures 3/8 inch.  This species is considered a pest in marine aquaria.

Habitat:
Typical habitats for pale anemones are shallow water areas having hard substrates such as rocks and mangrove roots, especially those of the red mangrove, Rhizophora mangle.  This species is locally common in some areas of the Indian River Lagoon.

Range:
Pale anemones range from the southeastern U.S. through the Caribbean.
