Anemones
Red waratah anemone
Anemones, like jelly fish, use stinging cells in their tentacles to catch their
prey.
Anemones are often home to anemonefish. Anemonefish have
special protection from the sting of the anemone as anemonefish are coated
in a mucus layer.

Octopus
An octopus’ home is called a lair and can be identified by a
heap of old shells near the front.
Octopuses can change their colour to blend in with their environment. This makes them highly efficient
predators.
