Yellow Cluster Anemone

Parazoanthus axinellae

''Parazoanthus axinellae'', the Yellow Cluster Anemone is a zoanthid coral found on the southern Atlantic coasts of Europe and in the Mediterranean Sea. Zoanthids differ from true sea anemones, in having a different internal anatomy and in forming true colonies in which the individual animals are connected by a common tissue, called the coenenchyme.
