The Anemone (uh-NEM-uh-nee) are stinging polyps that spend most of their time attached to rocks or on coral reefs waiting for fish to pass close enough to get caught in their venomous tentacles which fire a harpoon-like filament into their victim with a paralyzing neurotoxin.

There are hundreds of Sea Anemone species throughout the world’s oceans and they run the full spectrum of colors. Some Anemones establish symbiotic relationships, the most popular being with Clownfish, which are protected by a mucus layer that makes them immune to the Anemone’s sting.
