Yellow Cluster Anemone (Parazoanthus axinellae)

...a species of zoanthid coral that occurs off the coasts of southern Atlantic Europe and in the Mediterranean Sea. Unlike true anemones zoanthids like P.axinellae differ in their internal anatomy and colony formation. Like most cnidarians yellow cluster anemones are 'carnivores' and will feed on passing food items that are dispatched via nematocysts.
