|caption=The giant Caribbean sea anemone (Condylactis gigantea) is a tropical species of sea anemone that is found in coral reefs, shallow ocean waters, in shore areas in the Caribbean Sea and western Atlantic Ocean. It grows to approximately {{convert|15|cm|in|0|abbr=on}} high and {{convert|30|cm|in|0|abbr=on}} wide, making the pedal disc diameter approximately {{convert|40|cm|in|0|abbr=on}}. Although it is primarily a sessile animal, it is quite a mobile species compared to other anemones, and capable of using its pedal disc to crawl slowly.
