Chitin in Sea Anemone Shells

Science, 1983
Chitin, which is widely distributed among life forms, is well documented in the coelenterate class Hydrozoa and is contained in one member of class Scyphozoa. In class Anthozoa, hard corals synthesize it but soft corals do not. Chitin was identified by infrared spectrophotometry in the trochoid shell of the actinian Stylobates

Narcotising Sea Anemones

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 1989
Many techniques have been devised to overcome certain problems encountered when narcotising actiniarians. From these a few have been selected as being at least partly successful. Further modifications to these narcotising methods have been introduced in order to block more effectively the nervous pathways responsible for secondary contraction reactions.

A Respiratory Rhythm in Sea Anemones

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1977
ABSTRACT Continuous recording of the O2 content of sea water containing an Actinia equina or a Metridium senile has revealed the occurrence of periodic deflexions on most of the records obtained. The deflexions are probably caused by the release of coelenteric fluid via the mouth. The average period of the rhythm varied from 24 to 43 min

Overview of sea anemones

1991
To romantics they are Gosse’s ‘blossomed beauties’ and Roughley’s ‘flowers of the reef’, but despite their botanical common name, sea anemones are voracious animals — Dalyell’s ‘fell devourers of whatever they can overpower’. They belong to the Anthozoa, one of four extant classes (Figure 1.1) within the phylum Cnidaria (tentacle-bearing Radiata having
