Important Organism-Anemone

Colorful Sea Anemone are named after the terrestrial anemone flower. They are a very close relatives to coral and jellyfish. They attach themselves to rocks and wait for fish to come close enough to sting with their poisonous tentacles. Their tentacles are triggered by the lightest contact, releasing their venom into an organism resulting in a paralyzing effect. They guide their prey into their mouth using their tentacles.There are more than 1,000 sea anemone species known to existence, most of which are found in cool coastal waters. They range in size from a half inch to 6 feet! They maintain a symbiotic relationship with clown fish, which are immune to the anemone's venom. Clown fish live in the anemone’s tentacles, seeking shelter from predators, in return the anemone snacks on scarps from the clown fish's meals- It's a give and take concept.
