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 - most specifically the West Indies - and the Western Atlantic Sea, ranging from southern Florida through the Florida keys. It is also commonly known as : Giant Caribbean Sea Anemone, Giant Golden Anemone, Condylactis Anemone, Haitian anemone, Pink tipped anemone, Purple tipped anemone, and Florida Condy.
