The daisy anemone is a dangerous fish-eating sea anemone found in the Pandoran oceans.
It relies on electrolocation to detect bioelectric fields discharged by other large predator fish. It can also lure prey by mimicking the signals that fish species use to attract a mate. Once its target is in reach, the anemone's column extends to grab its prey before releasing a paralyzing venom. The column can extend up to 40 feet (12 meters). The prey then is forced into the anemone's mouth where it is broken down with digestive enzymes. While it is dangerous to large predatory fish, smaller fish often find protection within the anemone.
Trivia[]
- There is a similar creature in reality called the "urticina piscivora" which likely served as inspiration, although it is the size of one's palm.
- There is another called the "cereus pedunculatus" which is also called the daisy anemone.
- While the Pandorapedia categorizes it as flora, it can also be considered zooplantae.
