About this work
Magnificent sea anemone (Radianthus magnifica), Zanzibar, Tanzania. This anemone, native to the Indo-Pacific area, is characterized by a flared oral disc, which reaches between 20–50 centimetres (7.9–19.7 in) in diameter. The magnificent sea anemone has two feeding methods. The first one is through the photosynthesis of its symbiotic zooxanthellae, living in its tissues. The second method is through using its tentacles to stun, immobilize, and consume prey (small invertebrates, fry, or juvenile fish).
