Sea Anemones

by Meryl Magby

Book Overview

Sea anemones are as pretty as the flowers after which they are named. Readers discover spectacular photos of a range of sea anemone species, including magnificent anemones, northern red anemones, and brooding anemones. Easy-to-follow text offers many fun facts, both in the main body of the text and in a special two-page fact spread. These fun, scientific facts include how anemones eat only the soft parts of their prey and spit out the shells and bones. Another fact budding ichthyologists and curious minds will discover is that a sea anemone's stinging tentacles not only keep it safe but also protect other animals, such as clown fish, that hide among them.
