The clownfish-anemone living arrangement is one of the most widely recognized examples of symbiosis. Researchers have made a ...

Clownfish avoid anemone stings by lacking sialic acid in their mucus. This prevents anemones from recognizing them as prey.

Previous studies have shown that these molecules can trigger the release of sea anemone stinging cells. Very interestingly, scientists found that while anemonefish maintain certain levels of ...

The ornately colored sea anemone (uh-NEM-uh-nee) is named after the equally flashy terrestrial anemone flower. A close relative of coral and jellyfish, anemones are stinging polyps that spend most ...

Stinging cells, produced by cnidarians such as jellyfish and anemones, are one of ocean creatures' most effective defences. This method of protection can keep almost all predators at bay - but not the ...

Cnidarians manufacture thousands to tens of thousands of these complex structures all the time, and we just don’t know how that process works. I am currently using a sea anemone stinging cell reporter ...

The nudibranch eats hydroids and anemones — invertebrates that have stinging cells in their tissues. But those cells don’t hurt the nudibranch. Instead, the sea slug transfers the stinging ...

from mechanoreceptors to stinging cells. Here they provide evidence for a diversity of mechanosensory neural cell types in a sea anemone and reveal that evolutionary histories of animal ...
