Family Nemanthidae

INDO-PACIFIC / HAWAII

Nemanthus sp.

Ulua Beach, Maui

 

  

 



Moku Manu, Oahu, 150 feet

 TIGER ANEMONE

Rare on Black coral or Halimeda kanaloana in areas exposed to current.  It had not been recorded in Hawaii until recently, so it may be an accidental introduction via shipping activity.  It resembles the Indo-Pacific species Nemanthus nitidus.
