Actiniidae
Actiniidae is the largest family (biology), family of sea anemones, to which most common, temperate, shore species belong. Most members of this family do not participate in symbiosis, symbioses with fishes. Three exceptions are the bubble-tip anemone (with anemonefish and certain cardinalfish), snakelocks anemone (with Incognito goby) and ''Urticina piscivora'' (with painted greenling). The systematics of Actiniidae is often quite difficult. The problem with identification of genera within this family is that most species are readily distinguishable when alive but when fixation (histology), fixated lose their color and some other features. Arrangement of tentacles is important in defining genera for Actiniaria families. There may be one tentacle per space between Mesentery (zoology), mesenteries or there may be more than one tentacle between each two mesenteries. Members of the family Actiniidae have one tentacle per space. Genera There are over 300 recognized species in 57 gene ...

Anemonia Sulcata
''Anemonia sulcata'', or Mediterranean snakelocks sea anemone, is a species of sea anemone in the family (biology), family Actiniidae from the Mediterranean Sea. Whether ''A. sulcata'' should be recognized as a Synonym (taxonomy), synonym of ''Anemonia viridis, A. viridis'' remains a matter of dispute. Description This sea anemone has two ecotypes; one has a basal disk up to in diameter and has fewer than 192 tentacles (usually 142 to 148); the other has a disk up to in diameter and 192 tentacles or more, up to 348. The tentacles are long, slender and tapering, arranged in six whorls round the central mouth on the oral disk. They vary in colour but are usually some shade of green, grey or light brown. A knob on the tip of each tentacle, where the stinging cells are concentrated, may be violet. Distribution and habitat This sea anemone is native to the Mediterranean Sea and the eastern Atlantic Ocean as far south as Western Sahara. It is found in the intertidal zone and the ...
