More about the 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.
