Aiptasia mutabilis, also known as the Trumpet anemone, Rock anemone, and Glass anemone,[1] is a species of anemone typically found attached to substrates in cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean.[2] Its unique trumpet shape gives it its common name and it can grow to be 12 cm, having a column between 3 and 6 cm in size.[2] Like many cnidarians, they rely on nematocysts for protection and to capture prey.[3] They are not difficult to care for, and can be kept in a home aquarium, although due to their speed of reproduction, can quickly become overpopulated.
