Hi Chris,

Nice pictures.

So in the books I have this anemone is called Urticina lofotensis but I gather this is no longer even considered an accepted species and in any case apparently described a similar looking European animal. According to actinaria.com the valid name for our anemone is Cribrinopsis albopunctata. But, there are still web references to Urticina lofotensis if you look around.

http://actiniaria.com/cribrinopsis_albopunctata.php

I'd never heard of Urticina mcpeaki until now. Do you have any references for books or papers that sort this out?
