It’s probably stating the obvious but the Magnificent Sea Anemone is, well, magnificent.
It is a huge and brilliantly purple coloured anemone that can have a diameter of up to one metre.
As with many species of anemone the magnificent sea anemone has symbiotic relationships with anemonefish – which protect the anemones from predation in return for the protective environment of the anemone’s stinging tentacles. This species hosts twelve different species of anemonefish.
