The sunburst anemone can be differentiated from the aggregating anemone by its larger size and usual solitary form. It is differentiated from Anthopleura xanthogrammica by the coloration of the tentacle tips, striped oral disk, and vertical rows of verrucae. The color of the anemone is partly caused by symbiotic Zooxanthellae in the ...
Bubble-tip anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor) is a species of sea anemone in the family Actiniidae. [2] Like several anemone species, E. quadricolor can support several anemonefish species, and displays two growth types based on where they live in the water column, one of which gives it the common name, due to the bulbous tips on its tentacles.

Actiniidae is the largest family of sea anemones, to which most common, temperate, shore species belong. Most members of this family do not participate in symbioses with fishes. Three exceptions are the bubble-tip anemone (with anemonefish and certain cardinalfish), snakelocks anemone (with Incognito goby) and Urticina piscivora (with painted ...
The relationship between anemonefish and their host sea anemones is not random and instead is highly nested in structure. [5] A. barberi is specialised, being hosted by only 2 out of the 6 host anemones found in the region. A. barberi is hosted by the following species of anemone: [1] Entacmaea quadricolor Bubble-tip anemone
Aiptasia is a widely distributed genus of temperate and tropical sea anemones of benthic lifestyle typically found living on mangrove roots and hard substrates. These anemones, as well as many other cnidarian species, often contain symbiotic dinoflagellate unicellular algae of the genus Symbiodinium living inside nutritive cells.
Actinia helianthus is an unaccepted scientific name and may refer to two species of sea anemones: Bubble-tip anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor), found in the Indo-Pacific Ocean; Stichodactyla helianthus, found in the Caribbean Sea
A. tricinctus is highly generalised, being hosted by eight of the 9 host anemones found in the Marshall Islands. A. tricinctus is generally said to be associated with these species of anemone: [4] [7] Entacmaea quadricolor bubble-tip anemone; Heteractis aurora beaded sea anemone (mostly juvenile) [6] Heteractis crispa sebae anemone
