Question

Sea flowers are
a) Corals
b) Red corals
c) Sea anemones
d) Jellyfish

Answer 1

Hint: Sea flowers are the tentacles having animals of the water that have a distinct variety of colors present on their body that they seem to be flowers. These sea flowers are the predators and feed on the fishes which are present near them. They are usually found on the rocky bottom or on the surface of the corals.

Complete answer:
The sea flowers are the sea anemones which have a body resembling that of a flower. They have unique attractive colors present on their body. Their tentacles resemble the colorful petals of the flower. Their tentacles have a venom containing cells known as nematocysts.

This venom usually paralyzes their prey fishes and makes them unable to move. Thus, making it easy for them to feed on them.

Additional information: Red algae consist of coralline algae which are responsible for the production of the coral reefs. The thallus is hard due to the presence of the calcareous deposits which is present on their cell wall. They give a characteristic color pink and some shades of red color to the coral reef. They play an important role in maintaining the ecology of the coral reefs. Due to the accumulation and deposition of the calcium-containing exoskeleton the coral reefs are formed through the sea animals. The red algae also contain calcium deposition. These depositions are the foundation of the reefs. They provide protection to the coral polyps living in the reefs.
So, the answer is 'c) Aea Anemone'.

Note: The sea flowers only resemble flowers because of their tentacles having the characteristic color like the petals of the flower. They are predatory in nature. They belong to the cnidarians and are present in the polyp forms. Their body is attached to the rocky substratum or the coral reefs.
