Discovery of New Sea Anemone Species
A team of marine biologists from Japan and Australia has discovered a new species of shell-forming sea anemone, Paracalliactis tsukisome, in Japanese waters.
This species secretes a unique shell-like structure known as a carcinoecium, expanding the living space of its host hermit crab.
- Paracalliactis tsukisome is the ninth valid species in its genus.
- Most Paracalliactis species inhabit deep-sea floors, while some are found in shallow depths.
