Anthozoa
Anthozoa is part of the cnidaria phylum and contains sea anemones and corals. The Anthozoa has a tall and narrow body with an opening at the top and arms spread around the opening. Anthozoa translates to flower animal, and they mostly eat plankton and sometimes fish. The fish captured by nematocysts on the arm, and pushed through the opening, to be digested inside the body.
Unlike other cnidarians, Anthozoans do not have a medusa stage in their development, they live as polyps through their life cycles. Instead of doing this they release sperm and eggs that form a planula. Some Anthozoans can reproduce asexually through budding.
