Fig. 1. a: External side-view of the anatomy of a Generalized Sea anemone. The body is a cylindrical column with the oral disk comprising of a common opening to the actinopharynx and anus, and a ring of tentacles, and pedal disk that attaches to the substratum; Fig. 1b: Top-view of...
Internal anatomy:The internal anatomy of anemones is very simple. There is a gastrovascular cavity (which functions as a stomach) with a single opening to the outside which fuctions as both a mouth and an anus: waste and undigested matter is excreted through the mouth/anus. A primitive ne...

Sea anemones (order Actiniaria) rely on venom for their survival, deploying this chemical weapon during encounters with prey, predators and competitors [1]. In contrast to other studied cnidarian groups, however, the venom of Actiniarians is dominated by peptide neurotoxins [2,3]. These neuroto...

In general, there was a close correspondence between the recovery of particular GO categories in these two edwardsiid sea anemones. In the 20 categories under “Molecular Function” where a match was possible, we recovered a match from one or both of the anemones for 17 GO categories. For ...
