Diversity and Bioprospection of Functional Proteins from Sea Anemone Heteractis magnifica Based on Multi-Omics Approach [PDF]
Marine DrugsSea anemone venom has attracted increasing attention in biomedical research due to its multifarious compounds with biological activities. Although the venom is predominantly made up of proteins, the diversity and complexity of these proteins remain ...

Anemonefish use sialic acid metabolism as Trojan horse to avoid giant sea anemone stinging [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Anemonefish association with sea anemones is a prime example of mutualistic symbiosis. These fish live inside the sea anemone, benefitting from the protection of its toxic nematocysts, and in return, protect the anemone from its own predators.

Molecular tuning of sea anemone stinging [PDF]
eLife, 2023 Abstract Jellyfish and sea anemones fire single-use, venom-covered barbs to immobilize prey or predators. We previously showed that the anemone Nematostella vectensis uses a specialized voltage-gated calcium (Ca V ) channel to trigger stinging in ...

Structural and functional analysis of Hydra Actinoporin-Like Toxin 1 (HALT-1)
Scientific Reports, 2021 Actinoporins are a family of α-pore-forming toxins (α-PFTs) that have been identified in sea anemones. Recently, a freshwater Hydra Actinoporin-Like Toxin (HALT) gene family was found in Hydra magnipapillata.

Ectosymbionts of the Sea Anemone Stichodactyla gigantea at Kosrae, Micronesia [PDF]
Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2016 We studied the ectosymbionts associating with the sea anemone Stichodactyla gigantea at Kosrae, Micronesia. Ectosymbionts of seven species associated with 60.7% of S. gigantea (n=28), with a mean of 2.4 per anemone and 3.9 per occupied anemone.

Boxer crabs induce asexual reproduction of their associated sea anemones by splitting and intraspecific theft [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Crabs of the genus Lybia have the remarkable habit of holding a sea anemone in each of their claws. This partnership appears to be obligate, at least on the part of the crab.
