Tentacles in sea anemones are the flexible, elongated structures that surround their mouths and are primarily used for capturing prey and defense. Acontia, on the other hand, are specialized, thread-like structures that can be extended from the anemone's body, often containing stinging cells (nematocysts), which they use for both capturing prey and deterring predators. While tentacles are more prominent and visible, acontia can be deployed as a secondary line of defense.

Explain the difference between a polyp and a Medusa?
A polyp is anchored to substrate, like a rock or piece of coral. Anemones are polyps. They catch food with their tentacles and have the mouth on the upside. A medusa is swimming freely. Jellyfish are medusa stages. They catch food with their trailing tentacles and have the mouth on the downside. You can view polyps as the settled ´plant´ and medusa as the free-floating ´seed´, like in a dandelion. Though they aren´t plants at all, of course.
Two real life examples of mutualism?
One example of mutualism is the relationship between bees and flowering plants. Bees obtain nectar from flowers for food while simultaneously helping to pollinate the plants, which allows them to reproduce. Another example is the symbiotic relationship between clownfish and sea anemones; clownfish receive protection from predators by living among the anemones' stinging tentacles, while they help the anemones by cleaning them and providing nutrients through their waste.

Another example is the partnership between clownfish and sea anemones - clownfish are protected by the stinging tentacles of the anemones, while the anemones benefit from the cleaning services provided by the clownfish.

In A Coral Reef Ecosystem Clown fish And Sea Anemones Live Together. What Type Of Relationship Do They Have?
There have been many theories as to the exact elements of the complex relationship between anemonefish and anemones. (I say anemonefish because a clownfish is really a clown anemonefish) Anemonefish live in the tentacles of the anemones and the tentacles protect them. They are also extremely territorial, and will defend the anemone at all costs. They also keep it clean and provide it food. The reason as to why anemonefish are never stung is still at large, although there are many theories about it. Some scientists say that the fish is covered in mucus, some say they build up an immunity, some say that the anemone recognizes it, etc. But either way, the relationship is called a mutualistic one, because both animals benefit.
