Classification
The differential feature between the 2 suborders of sea anemone; Enthemonae and Anenthemonae is that they are primarily characterised by having basilar muscles, mesoglea marginal sphincter and they lack acontia and carotinoids.[Gusmão, L.C., Berniker, L., V, V. D., Harris, O., & Rodríguez, E. (2019). Halcampulactidae (actiniaria, actinostoloidea), a new family of burrowing sea anemones with external brooding from antarctica. ''Polar Biology, 42''(7), 1271-1286. ] They however, rarely lack these types of basilar muscles and sphincters causing the outer column to be smooth in texture.
