Resumo: 	Very little was known about the feeding habits of the actinian Calliactis parasitica, which almost exclusively lives on gastropod shells inhabited by anomuran crabs. Observations of behaviour in the field and the coelenteron contents of animals coming from two different ecological zones (infralittoral and circalittoral) in Thermaikos Gulf (North Aegean Sea) showed that C. parasitica is a non-selective omnivorous species which plays an important role in the benthic food web and its diet reflects the faunal composition in these two zones. Basically, this species is a suspension-feeder, although it can also remove food from the sediment by tactile tentacle motion. Complementary, occasional food sources are the remains of the prey of the associated anomurans.
