Anemones

Sea anemones belong to the order Actiniaria – there are four suborders and forty-six different families. These creatures can be described as terrestrial flowers, because that is what they look like with their waving fronds and floating appendages. The anemone is, however, a predatory animal that is related to corals and jellyfish. The basic anatomy of an anemone includes a polyp attached to the underside of a basal disc (an adhesive foot) – a column-shaped body extends from the disc and ends in an oral disc. You are probably familiar with sea anemones in relation to their symbiotic bond with clownfish.
