	Sea Anemone, Sea Anemone Information
		The tentacles protect the anemone and catch its food; they are studded with microscopic stinging capsules.
		Sea Anemones are usually about 1 to 4 inches (2.5-10 cm) across, but a few grow to be 6 feet (1.8 m) across.
		Reproduction : Sea Anemones reproduce by lateral fission (in which an identical animal sprouts out of the anemone's side) and by sexual reproduction (in which anemones release eggs and sperm, producing free-swimming larvae).

	Sea Anemone - MSN Encarta
		Sea Anemone, common name for various marine, flower-like polyps having a cylindrical, or vase-like, body.
		Most sea anemones reproduce sexually; budding and fission are comparatively rare.
		The eggs are usually fertilized in the gastric cavity, and the young are discharged from the mouth as free-swimming larvae, which soon attach themselves to surfaces.

	Sea anemones
		The name sea pansy was derived from the animal's flattened kidney-shaped pad, on which there are flower-like polyps, and its violet color; however, some sea pansies have a rose, purplish white or yellow tint, and are heart shaped.
		The sea anemones that are known to have the stinging power to affect man adversely are found in parts of the Arctic, North Atlantic, and western South Pacific oceans.
		The sea anemone you saw in the Gulf of California probably was the sand anemone (Alicia beebei).

	Sea anemone Summary
		An anemone is basically the typical polyp: a small sac, attached to the bottom by an adhesive foot, with a column shaped body ending in an oral disc.
		The sea anemone benefits from the products of the algae's photosynthesis, namely oxygen and food in the form of glycerol, glucose and alanine; the algae in turn are assured a reliable exposure to sunlight, which the anemones actively maintain.
		In the former situation, anemones will either attach or be attached to the shell of a hermit crab (by the crab's own volition), providing additional protection for the crab and allowing the anemone to eat scraps when the crab feeds.

	Minnesota Zoo/Animals/Discovery Bay
		Many anemones house unicellular algae in their tissues from which they undoubtedly derive some nutrients.
		Some hermit crabs place anemones on the snail shells in which the crabs live, gaining some protection from the presence of the anemone, while the anemone dines on particles of food dropped by the crab.
		Somehow, these fish do not trigger discharge of the anemone's nematocysts, but if some other fish is so unfortunate as to brush the anemone's tentacles, it is likely to become a meal.

	Choosing a Clownfish and a Sea Anemone (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The anemone does not recognize the clownfish as an enemy because the clownfish has a slimy coating that is a close chemical match of the anemone's.
		Anemones have photosynthesizing organisms, called zooxanthellae, living in their tissues and so light requirements in the tank are high (2 to 5 watts per gallon of water for 12 to 14 hours per day, preferably with some blue spectrum provided by actinic light bulbs or higher-temperature metal halide lighting).
		Anemones require no special filtration or aeration and water quality requirements are essentially the same as that of their companion clowns, although it is recommended that nitrates be below 10 parts per million.
