Sea Anemone
Sea anemones are a group of predation, predatory marine invertebrates of the order (biology), order Actiniaria. Because of their colourful appearance, they are named after the ''Anemone'', a terrestrial flowering plant. Sea anemones are classified in the phylum Cnidaria, class Anthozoa, subclass Hexacorallia. As cnidarians, sea anemones are related to corals, jellyfish, tube-dwelling anemones, and ''hydra (genus), Hydra''. Unlike jellyfish, sea anemones do not have a Jellyfish#Life history and behavior, medusa stage in their life cycle. A typical sea anemone is a single polyp (zoology), polyp attached to a hard surface by its base, but some species live in soft sediment, and a few float near the surface of the water. The polyp has a columnar trunk topped by an oral disc with a ring of tentacles and a central mouth. The tentacles can be retracted inside the body cavity or expanded to catch passing prey. They are armed with cnidocytes (stinging cells). In many species, additional n ...

Thalassianthidae
Thalassianthidae is a family of sea anemones that contains the genera ''Actineria'', ''Cryptodendrum,'' ''Heterodactyla'', and ''Thalassianthus''.World Register of Marine Species. (2016). Thalassianthidae Milne Edwards, 1857. http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=196167 These sea anemones do not host any varieties of clownfishes, but have been associated with some species of commensal anemone shrimp.Tree of Life. (2000). Thalassianthidae. http://tolweb.org/Thalassianthidae/18326 Research has shown that three species of sea anemones belonging to the family Thalassianthidae - (''Cryptodendrum adhaesivum'', ''Heterodactyla hemprichii'' and ''Thalassianthus aster'') - contain type 2 sodium channel peptide toxins capable of causing lethality to freshwater crabs. In addition, high molecular weight toxins appear to be a new type of toxin in the Thalassianthidae family of sea anemone Sea anemones are a group of predation, predatory marine invertebrates of the order ...

Thalassianthus Aster
''Thalassianthus aster'' is a species of sea anemone in the family Thalassianthidae.World Register of Marine Species. (2013). Thalassianthus aster Rüppell & Leuckart, 1828. http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=291206 It dwells in a number of habitats, even existing symbiotically on top of other motile invertebrates such as hermit crabs in a relationship similar to the pom pom crab. Its nematocysts A cnidocyte (also known as a cnidoblast or nematocyte) is an explosive cell containing one large secretory organelle called a cnidocyst (also known as a cnida () or nematocyst) that can deliver a sting to other organisms. The presence of this c ... contain a Type-II Na+-channel toxin known as δ-TLTX-Ta1a according to the currently developing systematic nomenclature for peptide and protein toxins from sea anemones.
