What are sea anemone protection?
There are two main ways they protect themselves. First, anemone tentacles are venomous, and can numb small animals. This is usually more useful for stinging prey (ie tiny zooplankton) rather than predators, though. There is a useful byproduct to this venom in some species, which is symbiosis with fish that are immune to the venom and live in the tentacles. These fish can help the anemone by fending off possible predators, protecting both their interests and the anemone itself. There's also a more rarely used behavior, which is "swimming." If an anemone is touched by a predator and the anemone recognizes a specific chemical, it will detach from its substrate and repeatedly bend in half to try and catch a current to sweep it away from danger. Unfortunately this requires a huge amount of energy, of which anemones don't have much. If they fail to catch a current or are dropped near another predator, they're pretty much out of luck.
