Grand Cotton Anemone

One of the largest multicellular organisms in this sector of 4546B, the Grand Cotton Anemone is hard to miss. This species propagates by emitting a steady flow of spermatozoa - reminiscent of flower pollen - that are forced out its opening as a result of gas exchange. Periodically, a large egg is expelled. Once fertilized, the egg develops into a planula larva, which drifts through the local environment before establishing itself on the ocean floor.

Assessment: Collect eggs for use in advanced fabrication.
