I saw these Green Sea Anemones in tide pools on the Palos Verdes Peninsula over the weekend. They are green because they have chlorophyll as plants do. ...Carnivorous, quasi plants.
I've seen anemones in the wild before, but haven't come across any with chlorophyll yet...or I might have, just a chlorophyll form that's not green (since many species host algal symbionts of various types)...
There are many organisms with chlorophyll that aren't plants though, I wouldn't use that as a trait to associate with being semi-plant. Certain flatworms, several algal phyla, euglenids, etc.
