it depends on how you touch an anemone though.. at the aquarium nearby we got to touch some of the tentacles and it was cool and alot of fun. ^^
but like there were some little brats on a field trip at the actual beach where i was an' were there to learn about the ocean, and it was the adults that were going into the water going 'look kids, its gonna eat me!' and sticking their fingers into the *middle* of the anemone... :/ dood, that's their mouth/stomach/other innards for living.. you just gut punched the poor critter and you're telling small children to do it too..
