What is white sea anemone?

The white sea anemone, also known as the snowflake anemone, is a species of sea anemone found in the cold waters of the Arctic, North Atlantic, and North Pacific oceans. It typically grows to a size of around 10-20cm in diameter and has a column-shaped body with long tentacles that are often arranged in a circular pattern around the mouth.

The white sea anemone is typically white or off-white in color, although some individuals can have a pink or cream-colored tint. It feeds on small fish, crustaceans, and other planktonic organisms that it catches with its tentacles. Like other sea anemones, it has a symbiotic relationship with certain species of algae that provide it with nutrients through photosynthesis.

The white sea anemone is known for its ability to survive in extreme conditions, including cold temperatures and low oxygen environments. It is also capable of reproducing both sexually and asexually, allowing it to quickly colonize new areas. Despite these adaptions, however, the white sea anemone is considered vulnerable to habitat loss and pollution in some areas due to human activity.
