Sea anemones are a group of predatory marine invertebrate animals constituting the order Actiniaria. They are named after the anemone, a terrestrial flowering plant, because of their colourful appearance, and are classified in the phylum Cnidaria, class Anthozoa, subclass Hexacorallia, making them relatives of corals, jellyfish, tube-dwelling anemones and Hydra. Unlike jellyfish, sea anemones do not have a medusa stage in their life cycle.
