High level of genetic divergence between sympatric color morphs of the littoral sea anemone Anthopleura orientalis (Anthozoa: Actiniaria).

Using enzyme electrophoresis and nematocyst analysis, the sympatrically occurring "light" and "dark" color morphs of the sea anemone Anthopleura orientalis from the Sea of Japan were shown to be two valid species. The "light" morph was identified as A. orientalis (Averintsev, 1967 Issledovaniya fauny morei: Vyp. 5 (13). Nanka, Leningrad, pp. 62-77), while the "dark" morph was designated as Anth...

Sea anemones (order Actiniaria) are among the most diverse and successful members of the anthozoan subclass Hexacorallia, occupying benthic marine habitats across all depths and latitudes. Actiniaria comprises approximately 1,200 species of solitary and skeleton-less polyps and lacks any anatomical synapomorphy. Although monophyly is anticipated based on higher-level molecular phylogenies of Cn...
