Pachycerianthus delwynae Carter, 1995
Pachycerianthus delwynae was first described by Scott Carter in 1995 using specimens from Port Jackson, the natural harbor of Sydney on the East Australian coast in the western Pacific. Under optimal conditions, few predators and an abundant influx of edible zooplankton, the cylinder rose can be a Reach a size of 24cm.
The color of the animal's foot ranges from a dark to light yellow tone to a dark brown that extends to the mouth disc.
The tentacles on the outer edge of the oral disc are pale orange to reddish brown with indistinct light or white bands, the tentacles around the central, purple-brown oral disc are pale yellowish, brown to cream.
All specimens collected for initial identification settled in sandy or muddy sediments or detritus from overlying mussel beds of Mytilus Sp. (mussel family) or beneath the parchment-like tubes of annelid colonies of the species Diopatra dentata (Kinberg, 1865).

The tentacles of the cylindrical roses are extremely mobile and have a strong adhesive force; once they are grabbed, zooplankton have no chance of escaping and are immediately transported to the oral disc and digested.
