Yes from what I understand U. lofotensis is a defunct name that was switched to U. eques. However neither of those names are suitable for describing the Pacific species we refer to as the "white-spotted rose anemone". C. albopunctata would be the correct name for the ones observed along out coast, while U. eques would be the correct name for the Atlantic species
Sorry, I have a bad habit of getting these things started and then forgetting about them. I finished off the atlases for the two output species, so please review them and let me know if there any problems. Once this split is committed, there will no longer be an active taxon named Urticina lofotensis, and all identifications of that taxon will be automatically replaced with new IDs of one of the output taxa, depending on which atlas includes the obs. @bernardpicton, maybe you could also confirm that this looks ok?
@kueda - yes, that looks good to me. I recommend committing it.
@phelsumas4life, your recent IDs prompted this change, so can you confirm that I have it right? @allisonjgong and @kestrel, you might want to take a look too as this will represent a name change for us in the Eastern Pacific, though hopefully not a very disruptive one.
