WHITE ANEMONE

I guess I have to post beautiful things too.

The sea anemone got its name from the flower called anemone flower. They are invertebrates with no skeleton, they are polyps that spend most of their times attached to rocks at sea bottom waiting for that unlucky fish to pass so that it could be entangled in its poisonous tentacles. The body is made up of tentacles all around with the mouth at the center. These tentacles are triggered by the slightest of touches.They shoot filament into the prey that release the toxins which after, they use their tentacles to draw them into the MOUTH. Although the are poisonous to other fishes, some species are known to be highly toxic to human, some even lethal to human because of the level of their toxin.
