anemone
Clownfish's stinging host
An anemone is a flower of the buttercup family with brightly colored petals, or a sea creature with tentacles that wave like petals in the current.
The sea anemone attaches to rocks and coral, capturing small prey.
The word's three syllables and unusual letter pattern make it notoriously difficult to spell and pronounce: She planted anemones along the garden path.
