The deep-sea anemones Bathyphellia margaritacea and Daontesia porcupina sp. nov. with comments on the family Bathyphelliidae
The Arctic abyssal anemone Bathyphellia margaritacea , type species of the genus and of the family Bathyphelliidae is redescribed. Acontia in this species are highly variable both in quantity and in cnidome characteristics, implying that this genus is one of the links between acontiate and nonaconti...
