The mottled anemone (''Urticina crassicornis''; formerly, ''Tealia crassicornis''), also known as painted anemone or Christmas anemone, is a large and common intertidal and subtidal sea anemone. Its habitat includes a large portion of the coastal areas of the northern hemisphere, mainly polar regions, and it lives a solitary life for up to 80 years of age.〔Abbot, Donald P., Hadderlie, Eugene C., Morris, Robbert H. ''Intertidal Invertebrates of California''. Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 1980.〕 Mottled anemones are similar to Dahlia anemones (''U. felina'') and both are commonly referred to as northern red anemones. ==Description== ''Urticina crassicornis'' is biradially symmetrical and ranges from 2 - 12.7 cm tall with a width of 1 - 7.6 cm. This sea anemone has a solid basal plate which is always flat. Its column can be olive green with or without red spots; solid red; cream; or brown, always with small, inconspicuous tubercles but no acontia. Its tubercles are not white and do not usually accumulate bits of sand, gravel and shell. The tentacles, superior of the column and usually 100 in number, are green to opaque cream with red and white striations and semi-transparent when extended. The tentacles are conical, thick and blunt and arranged in 3 - 5 circular rings around the oral disc. The oral disc has no white striations and usually has the same color scheme as the tentacles.〔〔Cowles, David. ''Urticina Crassicornis''. Walla-Walla, WA: 2005.〕
