One thing, this shouldn't be a plant, if it's a huge land anenome. More like a vermin.
Second, 24 attacks!

Here's the giant sea anemone. Since there's hardly any mention of the intelligence in the flavor, I'd follow the anemone precedent, stick to Int 1, and make it an animal.
I sort of like the idea of them being intelligent and evil. It makes them more, well, monstrous. Perhaps they're kin to ropers?
Why would we give them defensive bristles? Anemones are generally pretty smooth. They've got nematocysts, but mostly on the inside, not the outside.
A darktentacles can use only three tentacles at once against a Small or Medium-size opponent. Against a larger foe, it can use three additional tentacles for each extra 5 feet of face the opponent has, provided that it has the reach. Against a Tiny or smaller opponent, the creature can use only one tentacle. It can use a maximum of three tentacles against all foes in any single 5-foot by 5-foot area.
Ah. I failed to notice that the original was bristly. I thought that was just one of Cleon's additions. Vulnerability to fire also seems appropriate here.
I did not that only three tentacles can attack a man-sized creature at a time, so we might want to keep the twenty-four potential attacks. The hecatachonieries from the ELH (and Epic SRD) has a similar rule that we can use as a precedent/model.
