Description: | This model of the sea anemone Calliactis parasitica was made by the Blaschkas, a family of highly skilled glassworkers. Several lots of models were bought for the Newcastle Museum between 1865 and 1870. The Parasitic anemone usually attaches itself to the shells of hermit crabs or whelks. It is common in waters off the south coast of England.
