Common
name Anemone. About
When prey such as a small fish or a shrimp touches the tentacles they quickly
wrap around grabbing the victim which is then paralysed with the sting of the
tentacles. When you touch the anemone you can't feel the sting as it is unable
to pass though the skin of fingers. They can also take dead material that passes
their way by the good grace of the currents and waves. Food
goes in an out of the same hole. They can move around to find more favourable
locations. Photograph
