Sea Anemone

This is a picture of a green sea anemone. I took this picture in a tide pool in Santa Cruz, California. Sea Anemones came from the phylum Cnidarians which evolved from the earliest animals of our world. This sea anemone is sucking up this black turban snail for its meal. The long Green things are its tentacle it uses to catch its prey. Later on these tentacles are going to evolve and becomes a part of the structure of a jellyfish. It is really amazing to know how these organisms evolve through time and how complex they can be. Each organism has its own key feature and they are unique and beautiful.
