Did you know? Anemones are carnivorous and are known as ‘flowers of the sea.’ Anemones are loved by humans however their tentacles send out a deadly sting to catch their prey​.

SDG Targets 14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 14.5, and 14.A relate to protecting Sea Anemones. These creatures are vulnerable to pollution, habitat damage, sea temperatures rising and for some species collection and trade.​
