Another common name is the Corkscrew Anemone because the way it's tentacles twist together in the current. Pink Skunk M. doreensis prefers a sand, gravel or rubble substrate on which it can spread its long tentacle-fringed oral disc. It will bury its body.
Tentacles can be slightly adhesive.
Long Tentacle anemones are easily fed, accepting prepared frozen foods, small fishes, mussel and fish meat and crustacea.
