Plumose anemone

What it eats

The plumose anemone has a great number of tentacles that are relatively small and furnished with stinging cells . These are furnished with weaker stinging cells because their prey consists mainly of small organisms and animal remains. Sometimes they eat jellyfish.

Reproduction

Plumose anemones have something called laceration which means that budding of new individuals occurs from the polyps base as a complement to sexual reproduction, this is why several relatively alike individuals with the same colour can be found in close proximity of each other.
