Today I took this photo, and I also learned another curious fact about anemones; the point is that the sea anemone owes its name to the anemone flower, which is terrestrial and has very striking colors like sea anemones.
These animals are close relatives of corals and jellyfish; and form symbiotic relationships with other organisms, among them what is popularly known as the clown fish, which is able to inhabit them because they have a layer of mucosa that makes it immune to the sting of the anemone, it also forms relationships with green algae, In exchange for providing the algae with a safe place to grow and receive sunlight, the anemone receives oxygen and sugar, which are products derived from photosynthesis.
