Here is a short description of these lovely under-sea animals.
Sea anemones are the marine, predatory animals of the order Actiniaria. They are named after the anemone, a terrestrial flowering plant, because of the colorful appearance of many. Sea anemones are classified in the phylum Cnidaria, class Anthozoa, subclass Hexacorallia. As cnidarians, sea anemones are related to corals, jellyfish, tube-dwelling anemones, and Hydra. Unlike jellyfish, sea anemones do not have a medusa stage in their life cycle.
Over the years, I have been snorkeling in the ocean and visited a lot of marine animal exhibits but when you live your whole life in the desert and mountains, you are not really well acquainted with the oceans. I have enjoyed the time spent on the beaches of North and Central America however.
