<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > anemone</h1>
The anemone, which looks "idyllic as a chrysanthemum", is actually shaped like dozens of tentacles of petals, which are the outlet for releasing toxins. The toxin secreted by the anemone is extremely poisonous, and ancient wars will use it to apply to the arrows, especially the sandstone anemone is the most powerful, more toxic than potassium cyanide.

The anemone is widely distributed in the ocean, and it can be traced in shallow and deep seas, and it can be found even at 10,000 meters.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > fire coral</h1>
Although fire coral looks like coral, it is not actually a coral, and in terms of biological characteristics, it is closer to jellyfish. Fire coral may seem harmless on the outside, but its spiny cells are particularly toxic.
Fire corals are found in most of the sea, commonly found on the windward surface of coral reef ridges in shallow waters, and they prefer rough waves because larger waves help their larvae spread and drift farther afield.

It is generally distributed in the warm sea, along the coasts of Fujian and Guangdong in China, as well as in Taiwan Province and the South China Sea Islands.
The toxin of one chicken heart snail is enough to kill 10 people! Its tip part hides a small opening from which a poisonous needle can be shot, enough to make the injured person scream for his life.

The fin spines have poisonous glands, and people are in severe pain after being stabbed, and in severe cases, it is difficult to breathe, and even fainting.

If you accidentally touch these beautiful creatures while playing at the beach, wash the wound with seawater (do not use fresh water) at the first time, and seek medical treatment in time after emergency treatment!
Finally, a warm reminder: marine organisms generally do not actively attack humans, and will only activate defenses when threatened, so there is no need for grass and trees, and the hands are self-disciplined
