" In confinement Act. anguicoma is very sedentary, and will 

 keep the same spot for months. It curls up the edge of the disc 

 when infested with confervae. In its natural state, it is found 

 buried in sand in shallow pools, where it expands the head and ten- 

 tacula on the surface." J. Price.
