Question

Is it possible to get or catch sea anemone snorkeling?

Answer 1

There are many fish, corals etc that are captive bred.  Sea anemones are one that can be reproduced in captivity, no need to take them from the ocean.  Also, depending on your aquarium and where you live, the sea anemones in your area may not be compatible.  

To answer your question...taking them directly from the ocean will probably kill them...they hold tightly to rocks and dislodging them could harm them.

Answer 2

Depending on where you are, yes. Off the gulf of mexico I saw one in a wave, washed away b4 I could grab it and examine it more closly!

Answer 3

of course! just be careful what species it is tho. some are very hard to be kept alive in a aquarium. if you are looking to catch one, i recommend you study up on the internet on different kinds of anemones.  

Answer 4

sea anemone are illegal to remove from the ocean unless you are told otherwise by an official. they contain stinging cells which are very painful to the touch. i would suggest locating the nearest pet store that sells saltwater tank supplies and inhabitants

Answer 5

Acataly it is ilegal to take things from the ocean in most places. But in some places in Japan you can though.
