Characteristics
Actiniidae with well developed pedal disc. Column smooth, rather low. Margin well marked. Fosse always distinct, usually deep. Sphincter diffuse, sometimes very weak. Tentacles simple, not long, their longitudinal muscles ectodermal. Siphonoglyphs variable in number as also the directives, which may be absent. Mesenteries numerous, many perfect. Retractors weak or strong, diffuse, often band-like. All stronger mesenteries with or without the directives fertile. Tentacles more numerous than the mesenteries at the base. Cnidom: spirocysts, basitrichs, microbasic p-mastigophors.References

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.
