Metridium
The metridium, which is also known as the plumose anemones, is a sea anemone that is classified under the kingdom Animalia and the phylum Cnidaria. Which is the same phylum as jellyfishes and corals. The metridium is typically found in cooler waters of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans up in the Northern Hemisphere (Wikipedia.com, 2013). They typically collect in deep rock openings, or in deep regions under docks, floats, or pilings (Fretwell, 2013). In some instances they can even be found on the claws of certain crabs. Most of them are found in colonial gatherings, which in turn can help as a self defense line. They can also be used as a protection base or temporary habitat for certain fish. They lie between the anemones and if any imposing …show more content…

The black nerite was observed 76 times in the upper 25 meters of the rock pools, which has been defined as the supralittoral zone. The black nerite has adapted in many ways to successfully survive the harsh biotic and abiotic conditions associated with the supralittoral zone. The supralittoral zone has a categorically large amount of predation, and the black nerites have adapted structurally to deal with this. They have developed a tough, dark shell which not only prevents predators from accessing the snail inside, but acts as a camouflage, matching the dark coloured rocks. This tough shell also helps the nerites survive in the often dry and hot supralittoral zone, where a decrease from 83%RH to 75%RH was seen at Hastings Point.

Justin Flores Language Arts Honors Period 4 1-18-17 Montclair 's History The history of Montclair, as with other communities in Southern California, is rich and colorful.

Up until the 1890s, Montclair was little more than grazing land and a watering hole.

Anemone fish, also called clown fish, live nestled among the tentacles of stinging anemones. Scientists have found that these fish have a special layer of saliva that keeps the anemones from stinging them. Clown fish need the security they find in their anemones: the anemones' stings keep fish predators away, and a clown fish never lives without its host anemone. The partnership may benefit the anemones, as well they get scraps of food dropped by the Clown fish as they eat. And the aggressive and territorial Clown fishes may defend their anemones by driving away Butterfly fishes and other anemone-eating fishes.

A world called Pluton, where there is gender discrimination and females are superior to the males. Growing the population is Pluton’s main purpose. Herein, having the ability to give birth is power, thus females are dominant creatures as they are created with a womb which is able to carry an infant for thirty-six weeks. The only ‘capability’ that men have is the ability of passing the sperm on to the female to bore a child. The superiority of the female is felt strongly at the workplace, home and community at large.

Manatees are mammals known to live for about 50-60 years, but unfortunately, they were short-lived and died after ingesting/inhaling toxins, which later affected their organs. In the cases of the deceased manatees, it was found that severe renal, hepatic, cerebral, pulmonary, and nasopharyngeal congestion was found. Through the use of *immunohistochemical staining, traces of brevetoxins were found in the secondary lymphoid tissues, lung, and liver. Toxic algae in the water is recognized for moving through the air like a powder, which puts manatees at risk due to inhalation. Also, toxic algae may be found in the plants that they eat, affecting their gastrointestinal system.
