Habitat
There are over 1000 species of anemones found in coastal waters worldwide, in shallow waters (including coral reefs), and in deep oceans.
Diet
Sea Anemones are carnivores that eat fish, mussels, plankton, and worms. They catch food using the tentacles, which have poisonous stingers.
Movement
They live attached to firm objects in the seas, usually the sea floor, rock, or coral, but they can slide around very slowly.
Description
Sea Anemones come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. Their bodies are covered in tentacles. The tentacles protect the anemone and catch its food; they are covered in tiny stingers. Sea Anemones are usually about 1 to 4 inches across, but a few grow to be 6 feet across.
Enemies
Sea Anemones are eaten by very few animals. Their predators include the Grey Sea Slug and the Tompot Blenny.
