Sea anemones (Cnidaria: Actiniaria) of the Faroe Islands: a preliminary list and biogeographic context
We have identified 20 species of sea anemones (order Actiniaria) from BIOFAR material, eight of them new records for the Faroe Islands. This brings the total number of anemone species known thus far from the Faroes to 30. The Faroes shares six (or possibly only five) of those 30 species with Norway,...
