Habitat
This coral is often forming small colony in 5–25 metres depth on the top reef in tropical waters Indo-West Pacific area.
Food
Its diet is highly varied and goes from the production of its zooxanthellae to numerous animals which find themselves trapped by the oral disk as benthic invertebrates, crustaceans, worms, echinoderms and even fishes. When the prey is trapped and the anemone is starting its digestion, the lobed edges are raised towards the center of the disk and form a ball.References:
