Movement
For sea anemones attached to surfaces, they are capable of moving through a slow muscular gliding movement using their pedal discs1, which involves a quick release of the pedal disc effected by various ectodermal cells2. The video below shows the Cryptodendrum adhaesivum individual from Heron Island moving across its aquarium.
