Yellow cluster anemone (Parazoanthus axinellae), Arrábida National Park, Portugal. Actually, it isn't an anemome but a zoanthid coral found on the temperate eastern Atlantic coasts of Europe and in the Mediterranean Sea and at depths between 23 and 45 metres (75 and 148 ft) on rocky substrates. Zoanthids differ from true sea anemones, in having a different internal anatomy and in forming true colonies in which the individual animals (polyps) are connected by a common tissue, called the coenenchyme. Each polyp has twenty-four to thirty-six tentacles disposed in two whorls. The polyps are 5 millimetres (0.20 in) in diameter and 20 millimetres (0.79 in) in height.
