The banded cylinder rose ( Isarachnanthus nocturnus , syn .: Arachnanthus nocturnus ) or carib cylinder rose lives in the tropical, western Atlantic in the area of the west Indian islands , the Bahamas , Bermuda and Florida on sandy soils at depths of 5 to 20 meters. It becomes eight inches long, is hermaphrodite and nocturnal. It feeds on plankton . Like all cylinder roses, it lives in a self-made parchment-like tube, into which it quickly withdraws in the event of disturbances, for example when suddenly illuminated by a diver .
