Below is a picture of an anemone when it is closed up, meaning that its tentacles are not exposed to the water.
This is an anemone from the Aliciidae family. It gives very painful stings, so we have to handle it carefully.

We easily found this gigantic anemone (Stichodactyla gigantea)with a few anemone shrimps in it too! Anemone shrimps have a special protective layer that prevents them from getting stung by the anemone.
