The sea anemone (scientific name: Actiniaria) is a water-growing predator that belongs to the stinging cytotrophs, an order of the six-placed subclass Corallinae, an invertebrate, monogenean, two-embryozoan lower animal that has no central information-processing apparatus, meaning that it does not possess even the lowest level of cerebral basis.

Although the anemone looks much like a flower, it is actually a predator, with dozens of tentacles bearing a special type of stinging cell that releases toxins. Individuals in warm ocean waters are large and cylindrical. In the rocky crevices of rocky shore water storage, the common body surface with papillae is the green lateral flower anemone. In China's East China Sea, the Pacific side of the flower anemone number can reach hundreds to nearly 10,000 per square meter.

Biological Habits:

Food:

The anemone is a carnivorous animal, preying on fish, shells and zooplankton (such as copepods, crustaceans, and tiny marine larvae) as well as worms. They use tentacles with venom-secreting cnidocyte cells to hunt for food.

II. Reproduction:

Anemones can reproduce either by parthenogenesis or sexual reproduction, producing planktonic larvae.

Anemones are hermaphroditic or dioecious. In hermaphroditic species, the males mature first. In most anemones, sperm and eggs are fertilized in seawater and develop into planktonic larvae; a few anemone larvae develop in the mother's body. Some species split from the parent into 2 individuals by asexual reproduction; others bud on a basal plate and then develop new anemones.

Three, **** born:

Clownfish always live next to the anemone, whose poisonous tentacles are immune to the anemone, but also with the help of the latter to protect themselves. And snapper coral fish help anemones clean up tentacles and even drive away intruders, this is the "mutual benefit **** life".

There is an animal called the boxing crab, with their chelae to hold two anemones, type like boxing gloves, as a camouflage to protect themselves. But they can feed only with their feet. Hermit crabs hump the anemones on their backs and use the anemone's tentacles to protect themselves. When the crab wants to change shells, it pushes and fits the anemone from the old shell to the new one.

Fourth, natural enemies:

Few animals prey on the anemone, and its natural enemies include the light red parrotfish, starfish, and some nudibranch species.
