Classification

The differential feature between the 2 suborders of sea anemone; Enthemonae and Anenthemonae is that they are primarily characterised by having basilar muscles, mesoglea marginal sphincter and they lack acontia and carotinoids. [2] They however, rarely lack these types of basilar muscles and sphincters causing the outer column to be smooth in texture.
