This got me thinking so i made a little animation...

http://www.soware.co.uk/POVRay/ (Select Anemone)

although the movement of the tentacles is completely wrong - it currently 
looks like an inverted jellyfish - I think that with a little work, this 
could look quite realistic - I'd appreciate any feedback...

Thanks,
Simon

The movement looks a lot like how a jellyfish's tentacles
move.

very True. I've since come up with a V2 that has movement that isn't always 
pointed at the centre of the anemone and I'm trying to implement something 
where the "flow" of water causes the tentacles to sway in a more realistic 
way for V3.
