THE SEA ANEMONE: "Lonely, Lonely that is me"

Yes, as evident in this 'Anemone Bed," they can touch each other, but like the sea urchin, they can touch little else (save Little Nemo's) without risking total destruction. (Total Destruction!!)

Take a closer look. These tentacles contain minuscule venomous stingers that stun and poison innocent passers-by, each misconstrued as a vicious threat to the anemone's well being and general happiness. Observe the weapons' stealthy flexibility and texture:


Beautiful, yes, but always looming, ever carnivorous, ever ready to attack.

Obviously there is no other animal photographed with these wily cnidarians ('cept that damn clown fish, I know, I know), because it would just be too gruesome. Such is the melancholic, malicious isolation of this emotionally-charged underwater creature.

BEWARE THE ANEMONE LEST YE BE CLOWNES
