Sea Anemones (
Possessing a column-shaped body, anemones attaché themselves to the sea floor and wait for prey to enter the mass of tentacles that surround their mouth. Once prey is within range, the anemone will strike it with a neurotoxin; paralyzing the prey, before ensnaring them and dragging them into its mouth.
