The following text is for questions 27 to 30.
Sea anemones are stinging polyps
that spend most of their time attached to
rocks on the sea bottom or on coral reefs.
They are waiting for fish to pass close
enough to get ensnared in their venom-
filled tentacles. There are more than 1,000
sea anemone species found throughout the
world's oceans at various depths, although
the largest and most varied occur in coastal
tropical waters. They run the full spectrum
of colors and can be as small as 1.25 cm or
as large as 1.8 m.
Their bodies are composed of an
adhesive pedal disc, or foot, a cylindrical
body, and an array of tentacles surrounding
a central mouth. The-tentacles are triggered
by the slightest touch, firing a harpoon-like
filament into their victim and injecting a
paralyzing neurotoxin. The helpless prey is
then guided into the mouth by the tentacles.
Several sea anemones establish
symbiotic relationships with green algae.
The sea anemones provide safe harbor and
exposure to sunlight for the algae and the
anemone receives oxygen and sugar, the hi-
products of the algae1s photosynthesis.
They form another, more famous symbiotic
alliance with clownfish, which. Are
protected by a mucus layer that makes them
immune to the anemone’s sting. Clownfish
live within the anemone's tentacles, getting
protection from predators, and the anemone
snacks on the scraps from the clownfish's
meals.
