The Giant Anemone (Condylactis gigantea) in shallow waters of the Flower Garden Banks

At the Flower Garden Banks, the giant anemone (Condylactis gigantea) is found only in the deeper areas, not on the reef crest. In other areas of the Caribbean, this species is found in shallow areas. The reason for this difference is unknown.
