Sea Anemone Scientific Nature Ocean iPhone 16 Hülle

This vintage scientific print, created by Ernst Haeckel in 1904, comes from his iconic work Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms of Nature), specifically from the 49th plate. It depicts a variety of sea anemones, classified as Actiniae, which are water-dwelling animals. Sea anemones, named after the terrestrial anemone flower, are closely related to corals, jellyfish, tube-dwelling anemones, and Hydra. Known for their strikingly colorful and intricate appearance, sea anemones are stinging polyps. They spend most of their time attached to rocks or coral reefs on the ocean floor, where they wait for fish to swim by. The fish become ensnared by the anemone's tentacles, which are used to capture prey. This artwork beautifully blends scientific accuracy with artistic expression, showcasing the fascinating diversity of marine life.
