Sea anemones reproduce both asexually and sexually. Asexual reproduction involves ‘budding off’ to form a large colony of genetically identical individuals. Sexual reproduction involves broadcast spawning, where fertilization takes place in the water. The resulting larvae then swim around in the plankton until they find a suitable place to settle, at which time they metamorphose into a young anemone. | Ocean Imaging by Stefan Andrews
