The sea anemone
(海葵) may look like the beautiful flower for which it's named,but fish that swim too close may regret it.The sea anemone,which lives on the sea floor,uses its poisonous tentacles (触须) to stab passing creatures with a kind of poison—making them helpless and fit to be eaten.
The surgeonfish (刺尾鱼) is an attractive reef fish that is poisonous.Scientists believe that the world's seas hold some 1,200 different surgeonfish species and think that they injure about 50,000 people per year.But the surgeonfish poison can also bring great benefit—they are useful in the development of new drugs.
