"A giant green sea anemone eats a red cancer crab in a tidal pool in Washington's (http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/places/states/state_washington.html) Clallam Bay. These carnivorous invertebrates snare their prey by firing a hooked filament into their victims, paralyzing them with a potent neurotoxin before engulfing the unlucky prey.

While it is kind of cool, it's a bit sad to me. Someone go pry that crab lose.

Very cool pic. I imagine it's hard to witness something like this happening in the wild everyday.

When I saw the picture, the first thing that came to my mind was the crab legs and claws I have out in the freezer that I need to cook.
