About
Radianthus crispa was described in 1834 by Hemprich and Ehrenberg as Actinia crispa. It is widespread across the tropical and subtropical Indo-Pacific, from the east coast of Africa including the Red Sea to Polynesia and from southern Japan to Australia and New Caledonia. It prefers hard substrate lightly covered with sand but will also cling to branching corals, from the surface down to 40 m. The flared oral disc reaches 20-50 cm and carries many tentacles 10-15 cm long, arranged in concentric circles in multiples of six, with rounded tips often marked by a purple or blue spot. The grey column is dotted with sticky whitish warts. It feeds both by photosynthesis and by capturing prey. Hosting 15 species of anemonefish it is highly generalist, and in the Red Sea it is regarded as a nursery anemone, since sexually mature fish are rarely found in it.
