Carpet Anemone Description
  The Carpet Anemone is one of the largest of the anemone species. Some specimens can reach a diameter of 39 inches. The short tentacles of this anemone deliver a sting strong enough to cause an uncomfortable rash on unprotected skin. The animal uses these stinging cells to subdue its prey, the occasional unwary fish.
