Info

Halcampa crypta Siebert & Hand, 1974

Halcampa crypta is a small solitary anemone of the northeast Pacific. Members of the genus are called burrowing anemones because their column is always buried in soft sediment.

Halcampa crypta is an inconspicuous anemone that grows to about 2cm wide when its tentacles are fully extended. It behaves like a worm and, when disturbed, retreats into a burrow between the rocks
