SPECULATIONS ABOUT THE SUSPECT
The A.P.A.A.I. were interested in how dependent the anemone is on using his tentacles for protection and to catch food. Also, we are unsure of how the Sebae Anemone shoots out venom from his tentacles. In addition, we could find a lot of information on its appearance and defense mechanism, but not a lot of information on its lifespan because it is unknown. Lastly, we would like to know more about its ecological role in its biological community and how it contributes to their habitat.
