An ANEMONE is a tentacled marine animal that belongs to the Cnidaria phylum. It is a predatory invertebrate that lives in shallow, tropical and subtropical waters. Anemones have a soft body and are typically found attached to rocks or coral reefs. They have a ring of tentacles around their mouth which they use to capture prey. Anemones are also known for their symbiotic relationship with clownfish, which provide protection from predators in exchange for food scraps.
