Description
The aggregating anemone has an insatiable appetite and will eat any small fish and crustaceans passing by. Its tube-shaped body is covered with tentacles that sting and paralyze its prey. The aggregating anemone attaches itself to a rock and lives there forever. A symbiotic algae lives within the tentacles, giving the anemone a green tint and providing it with nutrition, much like some plants.
