One of the most common among the many varieties of sea-anemones is the actinia mesembryanthemum. |
The locomotive power of the anemone, or actinia, is very sluggish. |
Cut off the tentacles of an actinia, and they are replaced in a short time, and the experiment may be repeated indefinitely. |
Genetic materials inserted into the cactus and responsible for luminescence are GFP-like proteins taken from the Pacific actinia known as Anemonia Sulcata. |
This actinia differs from those described above, in having two of the sides flattened, instead of being perfectly circular. |
Of the lowest among these orders, the Actinoid Polyps, our actinia or sea-anemone is a good example. |
