About

Condylactis gigantea is a tropical ball anemone found on shallow reefs and other shallow inshore areas of the Caribbean, specifically the West Indies, and the western Atlantic including southern Florida and the Florida Keys. It attaches in the crevices of rock walls or to rock, shell or almost any other hard object, and is seen in lagoons and inner reefs as individuals or loose groups but never as colonies; it has also been recorded on mangrove roots. It has a red column with long, tapering, pink-tipped tentacles that occasionally develop a bubble-like appearance. Its primary mating season is reported to be late May. It is generally dioecious but occasionally hermaphroditic, spawning eggs and sperm relatively synchronously with fertilisation occurring externally. It shelters several fish and cleaner shrimp species and serves as a base station for fish cleaning. Since its range does not overlap that of the Indo-Pacific anemonefish, clownfish essentially never associate with it.
