Two species of actiniarian sea anemones Actinodendron arboreum (Quoy & Gaimard, 1833) and Diadumene leucolena (Verrill, 1866) under the families Actinodendronidae and Diadumenidae respectively were recorded as new addition of sea anemone fauna to India from Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Earlier literature indicated that the occurrence of A. arboreum from Asia-Pacific region while D. leucolena known from east and west coast of North America. The diagnostic features of the presently recorded species along with distributional details are provided.Keywords

Information on Actiniarian sea anemone in Andaman & Nicobar Archipelago were limited to the works of Parulekar (1967, 1968, 1969a, b, 1971 & 1990), until two recent works of Madhu and Madhu (2007) and Raghunathan et al. (2014) which reported 20 species from this locality. Of which, five species are new records to India and one species is new distributional record to Andaman and Nicobar Islands.Keywords

Sea anemones are brightly coloured, classified under the phylum Cnidaria, inhabit coastal waters throughout the world, but are particularly abundant in tropical oceans. They are distributed in intertidal to deep oceans and live attached with rocks, sea floor, shells and some forms burrow in the mud or sand. They are radial symmetric with columnar body have a single body opening, mouth which is surrounded by tentacles. However, body shape of the sea anemones is often related to the habitat in which they live. Sea anemones are solitary polyps and are considerably larger and heavier than the polyps of hydrozoans (Barnes, 1982). There are over 1000 species of sea anemones reported worldwide.Full Text
