The scientific name for sea anemone is Actiniaria. Sea anemones attach themselves to rocks or other hard surfaces on the ocean floor with their basal disc, which is the foot of the anemone. They have a column-shaped body with a mouth surrounded by tentacles at the top, which they use to capture prey.
Sea anemones come in a variety of colors and sizes, and they can be found in all oceans around the world. Some sea anemones are symbiotic with other organisms, such as clownfish, which live among the anemone’s tentacles and help to protect it from predators.
