Sea Anemone Eats Bird. The giant green sea anemone is a sea dwelling predator known to typically eat small fish, crustaceans and detached mussels. But sea birds that fall into the water may be consumed from time to time. In the footage captured by Tillamook Estuaries Partnership staff we see just that, a sea anemone devouring a baby cormorant bird.
