Crochet Pattern Sea Anemone

Boxfish Handicraft Crochet Pattern from Anna the Sea Anemone

The Sea Anemone are Flower Animals
Sea anemones belong to the flower animals. Did you know that sea anemones are also called water lilies or sea carnations? Because they are so beautiful and their many tentacles look like petals! So they are a flower and an animal at the same time. Sea anemones can move around with their muscular bodies by slowly crawling on their foot disc on the substrate. However, they can also claw or burrow. Often sea anemones are home to anemonefish or other animals. These seek protection from enemies between their tentacles. So if you feel like it, you can crochet an anemone fish to go with your sea anemone.
