Pom-pom anemone Larvae
Liponema brevicorne (larvae)
This minute, ciliated larva drifts through deep-ocean currents after being released by an adult. It is carried through the plankton, living on stored nutrients and tiny suspended food particles. Even at this stage, it has stinging cells that offer some protection from small predators.
