The dahlia anemone (Urticina felina) belongs to the group of coelenterates known as sea anemones. They can be found stuck firmly to rocks below the upper tide line. When left exposed by the receding tide the anemone reduces itself to a compact, blob-like mass. When covered by water the tentacles expand, ready to trap any small crabs or fish that stray within reach. |
