Liponema brevicorne, commonly known as pom-pom anemone or tentacle shedding anemone, is a species of sea anemone in the family Actiniidae. It is a deep water species and has been relatively little observed. It often remains unattached to a substrate and can roll across the ocean floor propelled by water currents.[3]
