Anthopleura radians

Description 2

A suggested new species of sea anemone as described by Carlos Spano and Vreni Häussermann and published by Biodiversity and Natural History (2017) Vol. 3, No. 1, 1-11. These look very much like anemones found in NZ.
"... Since no type specimen (or any specimen at all) could be found for A. minima, the decision whether or not it is a senior synonym of A. radians remains pending until new samples from its original locality are examined."
