Sea anemones

Sea anemones are marine animals closely related to coral and jellyfish. They have a soft, cylindrical body topped with numerous tentacles that contain stinging cells called nematocysts, used for capturing prey like fish and small crustaceans. Anemones often attach to rocks or coral reefs, displaying vibrant colors. They can also form symbiotic relationships with clownfish, which find shelter among the anemone's tentacles, gaining protection while keeping the anemone clean. Sea anemones play a crucial role in marine ecosystems, contributing to biodiversity and serving as habitats for various species.
