Calliactis parasitica is up to 100 millimetres (3.9 in) tall, and 80 mm (3.1 in) wide,[2][3] with the base of the column being slightly wider.[1] The surface of the column is rough and leathery with a grainy appearance, but has no tubercles and is not divided into sections.[1] It is variable in colouring,[1] but is usually cream or buff in colour, with blotches and streaks of reddish or greyish brown, which tend to form vertical stripes.[2]

The basal disc is concave, and able to stick firmly to the substrate.[1] Above this lies the limbus (the junction between the basal disc and the column), and just above that are the relatively prominent cinclides (specialised pores), each on a small mound.[1] These readily emit threadlike acontia (stings) when the animal is disturbed.[3] At the top of the column are up to 700 slender tentacles of moderate length.[2] They are translucent, and yellowish to orange in colour, with longitudinal lines of reddish brown.[3]
