Stichodactyla tapetum, the mini carpet anemone (family Stichodactylidae), is the smallest species in the genus, found in shallow sandy and rubble habitats of the Indo-Pacific, forming compact oral discs typically 5–15 cm in diameter with short, densely packed tentacles. Despite its small size, it hosts clownfish including Amphiprion perideraion and A. Genomic data have been generated for this species and are available in public databases, enabling comparative studies of cnidarian evolution and ecology.
