Sea Anemones In Your Aquarium

Anemones are thought of as plants but are actually omnivorous animals that attach themselves to corals or even rocks. They come in different colors and shapes and are relatively easy to keep if you are starting out with your first marine fish aquarium.

Perhaps putting corals is one thing that makes an aquarium lovely, especially if you use a sea anemone.  Anemones are actually animals that attach themselves to corals or even rocks. They have stinging cells and these things can paralyze small sea creatures. This is one good defense mechanism for these little babies. There are others who say that crabs and sea anemones share something close to a symbiotic relationship. This is because crabs will eat the small sea creatures that died from the sting and the anemones will eat the scraps of the crab.

Anyway, sea anemones look like flowers. This is why they are dubbed as sea flowers. They come in different colors and shapes and sometimes they may even look like green grass plants. This is why they are good in hunting because they are mistaken by other fish as harmless. The truth is, these things are predators and they are omnivorous. The hunting style of these creatures is to lie in wait for fish that will pass by and then sting them with their tentacles.

Most of the day, sea anemones are just anchored to rocks. They are considered to be great for starters or beginners for marine aquariums because they are not difficult to maintain. These things are not demanding and all you need to do as an owner is to make sure they get the right amount of food supply and lighting. These are the best things to get if you are serious in pursuing maintenance of marine aquariums. If these sea anemones will survive in your care, then you are ready to take more marine life into your hands.
