About

Heteractis aurora occurs from Micronesia and Melanesia to East Africa, the Red Sea, and from Australia to the Ryukyu Islands. It lives among coral and along rocky reef edges and slopes, normally where currents are strong. It attaches to a surface and remains partially buried in sediment or sand, withdrawing entirely into the substrate when threatened; SeaLifeBase records a depth range of 0-19 m. Both tentacles and oral disc are brown or purplish. The tentacles reach 50 mm, may be sticky to the touch and sometimes have magenta tips. The longer tentacles carry swellings on one side only or almost all the way round, giving the appearance of beads on a string, with up to 20 on a single tentacle. The broad flattened oral disc reaches 250 mm across and may show white or brown markings radiating from the centre and continuing along the tentacles. It hosts seven species of anemonefish.
