"Your Shoe's Untied"

"The Sponge Who Could Fly"
It appears when Template:Data:Links tries to rewind his TV at the end of the episode but clicks on different channels instead. In one of the channels, the orange anemone is seen dancing.
"Rise and Shine"
Template:Data:Links watches the dancing anemone on Bikini Bottom News.
Trivia
- The scene where SpongeBob watches it dance only for Gary to startle him has become popular on the internet.
- This particular anemone appears to be threatened; mostly sensing a predator as they're preyed upon fish, sea stars, and crabs. This sea anemone begins to wiggle away ready to pop off its substrate, vigorously beating its tentacles to swim out of reach. Although this approach is inefficient (they barely stay buoyant for more than 15 seconds), it works.
