comments,

• A rose by any other name would smell as sweet…""At the bottom of the ocean?
• You might be fooled into thinking this sea flower has a distant cousin.""Rooted in a nearby garden
• Carnivorous anemones are equipped with poisonous tentacles to pacify prey.""There\s one thing that will stop them - mucous
• Urticina lofotensis has a smooth, red column with vertical rows of white tubercles.""With tentacles retracted, they look like which fruit?
