I have eight tentacles. I use them

to catch food and swim. 4
I am heavy, but I swim well.
I lay my eggs on the beach.
I am soft, and I look beautiful,
but I can sting!
I live with my family, and I can
swim fast and jump high.
I am big and flat, but don’t be afraid
of me – I’m harmless.
I look like a plant, but I’m an animal.
My friend the clownfish cleans me.
I’m very, very big. I have warm blood
and I breathe air.
I have ten legs and I live in the water
and on the beach.
