Coelenterate Genus Link

A genus of common sea anemones frequently found in rock pools.

Historically, the phylum Coelenterata included both Cnidaria and Ctenophora (comb jellies). In modern biological classification, researchers typically separate these into distinct phyla because Ctenophora lack the stinging cells characteristic of true cnidarians.
