Anatomy & Physiology
The internal morphology of E. quadricolor is consistent with that of other Anthozoa and follows a body plan common among small invertebrates. However, this species is interesting physiologically with the presence of toxins and fluorescent compounds including a uniquely far-red shifted red fluorescent protein (RFP). More detailed information on such topics is provided in the following pages.
