Gray Snakelocks Anemone
The gray snakelocks anemone, sometimes called the pink-tip, is related to the jellyfish, corals, and hydroids. Although sea anemones can move, they do not actively pursue prey but rather capture fish, shrimp, or other invertebrates that swim past or fall on them from above. The sea anemone’s color results from the presence of a symbiotic algae, called zooxanthellae, living in the anemone’s body tissues.
