Sea Anemones and Corals
The body cavity is divided into sacs, septa, extending from the body wall. These septa increase the surface available for the secretion of digestive juices and the absorption of nourishment. They also contain the gonads which contain the sperm and eggs. Sexual reproduction is the rule; budding and fission are comparatively rare. The eggs are usually fertilized in the gastric cavity, and the young are discharged from the mouth as free-swimming larvae, which soon attach themselves to surfaces. Hermit crabs sometimes allow them to attach themselves to their shells, for protection.
Anenomes are found in Warm tropical waters, such as the Caribbean and the Sea of Cortez in Mexico. They have Nematocysts, which are poisonous stinging cells which they use to paralyze small fish and other marine animals that make up their diet.
