I've just been reading nature books since about 1975.

I should note that one of the very first books that I really enjoyed as a small kid was Larousse Natural History. Belonged to my Grandad and Nana passed it to me when he passed on. I called it the Cassowary Book from as long ago as I have any memory at all, because of the big color plate of the Cassowary head. I just read it cover to cover for the first time in my life 2 months ago (rather than flipping here and there.)

I'm not going to get a chance to research it tonight (Getting a 90 gallon tank for the other side of the TV - 200 bucks with stand, lids, and lights. Practically theft) but I do want to keep working this. Can you tell me what that is they're on, though? I'm guessing Anemone, but I could be off by a phylum.
