INTERESTING FACTS-
Rose anemones have a symbiotic relationship with many species of anemonefishes such as the clownfish. the Anemones use tiny stinging cells in their tentacles called "nematocysts" in order to stun their prey. These nematocysts within these tentacles are also used as a defense mechanism. One way the rose anemones reproduce is by splitting in two.
