Sea anemones are a group of water dwelling, predatory animals of the order '''Actiniaria''', they are named after the anemone, a terrestrial flower. As cnidarians, sea anemones are closely related to corals, jellyfish, tube-dwelling anemones and Hydra. They will sting and must be handled carefully.<br />
<br />
A sea anemone is a polyp attached at the bottom to the surface beneath it by an adhesive foot, called a basal disc, with a column shaped body ending in an oral disc. Most are from {{cm|1.8|3}} in diameter, but anemones as small as {{in|0.6}} or as large as nearly {{cm|201}} are known. They can have anything from a few tens of tentacles to a few hundred tentacles. A few species are pelagic, and are not attached to the bottom; instead they have a gas chamber within the pedal disc, allowing them to float upside down in the water.<br />
