The sea anemone looks like a small, bushy plant. It is actually a dangerous predator. It has small tube-like body, with a mouth at the top, surrounded by tentacles. The tentacles are covered by tiny stinging cells that protect the animal, and inject poison into its prey. The poison paralyses the prey and the sea anemone uses its tentacles to push the prey into its mouth. Sea anemones are found everywhere in the ocean. If you come across one, be sure to avoid it!
