sea anemone(ənĕmˈənēˌ), any of the relatively large, predominantly solitary polyps (seepolyp and medusa) of the class Anthozoa, phylum Cnidaria. Unlike the closely related corals, these organisms do not have a skeleton. Sea anemones occur everywhere in the oceans, at all depths...
Sea anemone venom: Ecological interactions and bioactive potential Cecelia Menezes, Narsinh L. Thakur, in Toxicon, 2022 1 Introduction Sea anemones are predatory marine animals belonging to the invertebrate Phylum Cnidaria (order Actiniaria, Class Anthozoa) which are usually attached to rocks or suitab...
Sea anemones (phylum Cnidaria) have been reported to possess a number of interesting toxins. These include the membrane-active cytolysins and neurotoxins that interact with the sodium channel. The other toxins, which are mainly peptide in nature, however, have not been extensively characterized. ...
sea anemones and coral. Two basic body types exist in this phylum, medusae and polyps. A medusa floats in the water column, with tentacles hanging down from its body in a ring around its mouth. Jellyfish have this body type. The polyp is like an upside-down medusa, with its...
The creature belongs to the Cnidaria (pronunciation: cni·dar·i·an) phylum and the subclass Hexacorallia (pronunciation: Hex·a·co·ral·la). They are cousins of jellyfish, corals, and tube-dwelling anemones. The family consists of over 1,000 species. The ...
To further resolve the open questions of the evolution of DEG/ENaCs, we turned to the sea anemoneNematostella vectensis, a member of the cnidarian subphylum Anthozoa, which branched from the Medusozoan subphylum >500 million years ago31. We identified 29 DEG/ENaCs, which we namedNematostella...

coast and the southeast coast of Britain, this sea anemone is a member of the sea-dwelling phylum Cnidaria, which is well-known for its full-body regenerative abilities—so much so that some animals in this phylum, such as the jellyfish Turritopsis dohrnii, are functionally immortal. Because ...
Sea anemones are nettling animals; they belong to the phylum Cnidaria , class Anthozoa , family Actiniidae. From an evolutionary point of view they represent the simplest level of organization within the metazoa. All sea anemones possess stinging organelles called nematocysts which play an importa...
