Cyanea Pinnatifida

Cyanea pinnatifida is a rare and delicate marine invertebrate belonging to the family Anthozoa. It is commonly found in shallow coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean, particularly around Hawaii and other tropical regions. This species is known for its vibrant purple and pink coloration, which helps it blend with its coral reef habitat. Its unique structure consists of a central polyp with numerous branching tentacles used for capturing prey. Due to its limited distribution and sensitivity to environmental changes, Cyanea pinnatifida is considered an important indicator of ocean health.
