Characteristics
Actiniidae with well developed pedal disc. The whole or the most part of the column with more or less distinct adhesive verrucae, which are often simple but sometimes lobed in the distal part of the body. They may or may not be arranged in obvious vertical rows. Foreign bodies often attached to the verrucae. No marginal spherules present, but there may be pseudospherules. Sphincter more or less circumscribed, sometimes circumscribed-diffuse. Tentacles rather short, simple. Longitudinal muscles of the tentacles numerous. Usually 2 pairs of directives. All stronger mesenteries fertile, sometimes the directives are sterile. Retractors commonly strong, more or less restricted. The younger mesenteries grow from the proximal end upwards and therefore the mesenteries are often more numerous in the proximal part than in the distal. Cnidom: spirocysts, basitrichs, microbasic p-mastigophors.References

Please note that Carlgren's text contains a number of errors, and much of the information is now out of date. An update of the catalog is currently under preparation in Daphne Fautin's laboratory, and the results of this work will be incorporated in future versions of this page.
Keyboarding of Carlgren's catalog was done as part of a project to create an electronic database of the sea anemones of the world, funded by NSF Grant DEB9521819, awarded to Daphne G. Fautin. This grant is in the program Partnerships to Enhance Expertise in Taxonomy (PEET). Susanne Hauswaldt, Katherine Pearson, and April Wakefield-Pagels contributed to the keyboarding effort.
