The Curly Q Anemone, from the Caribbean, is often stationary for long periods. Its beautiful namesake cilia will retract into a very small ball when it is disturbed. It feeds on the Zooanthellae algae hosted in their bodies, and they ingest phytoplankton by waving their tentacles towards the center of their body towards their mouths. They have stinging cells to stun prey; this sting is painful and dangerous to humans also. Drip acclimation is recommended for all inverts to avoid rapid changes in water chemistry. Copper based medications can be fatal for inverts.
