ENIGMA OF THE MONTH

SOLUTION: Anemone sea, Anemonia viridis

Well, well ... This is a polyp that lives fixed to the substrate, but may have some mobility. It has a couple of hundred very long and stinging tentacles around the mouth opening, the tips usually have a purple coloration. These tentacles are not fully retractable and break easily.

The coloration is variable, white and brown when living in the depths and less luminous, green living in brightly lit areas (the green which gives the name, is due to zooxanthellae algae living in symbiosis under his ectoderm).

Its size is around about 7 cm in diameter and can reach up to 10 cm in height.

It feeds on small invertebrates with stinging tentacles capture.

Can be found in ponds and tidal wetlands of the middle and lower, until a few meters deep, and is very common throughout our rocky coast. Sometimes it appears to form large family groups in quiet places.

Cnidaria And the other common here is the "Tomato sea" or Actinia equina, with shorter tentacles and can be withdrawn in case of discomfort or at low tide to avoid drying.

Now that you know ... Encourage one to differentiate this summer!
