Cribrinopsis Fernaldi
''Cribrinopsis fernaldi'', also known as the crimson anemone, snakelock anemone, chevron-tentacle anemone and Fernald brooding anemone (not to be confused with ''Epiactis fernaldi'', another sympatric species known as Fernald brooding anemone), is a sea anemone native to the Pacific Ocean off northwestern North America. Description ''Cribrinopsis fernaldi'' is a large anemone that can be crimson red, orange or white. This species has zigzag transverse lines on its tentacles, white tubercles on its column, and spherules just below the tentacles. These spherules can be especially hard to see as they are often withdrawn. The column is up to in diameter and around high. The oral disk has yellow or pink lines radiating from the mouth to the margin. These can be difficult to see in dark red individuals.Kozloff, Eugene N. (1987). ''Marine Invertebrates of the Pacific Northwest''. University of Washington Press, Seattle, WA. 511 pp. Similar species ''Urticina crassicornis'' is anothe ...

Epiactis Fernaldi
''Epiactis fernaldi'', commonly known as the Fernald brooding anemone (not to be confused with ''Cribrinopsis fernaldi'', another sympatric species known as Fernald brooding anemone), is a species of sea anemone in the family Actiniidae. It is native to shallow waters around the San Juan Islands off the western coast of North America. Description The Fernald brooding anemone is usually under in diameter. It varies in colour, with different individuals being dull green, reddish-brown, dark orange or yellowish-brown; sometimes there are contrasting light or dark spots on the column. The bases of the tentacles are usually white and there are often dark lines between them which correspond to the internal mesenteries. This anemone is similar in appearance to the common brooding anemone ''(Epiactis prolifera)'', especially when contracted, but that species often has juveniles adhering to the outside of the column while the Fernald brooding anemone broods its young internally. The ...

Lebbeus Groenlandicus
The spiny lobster (''Lebbeus groenlandicus''), also known as the chicken prawn and dokdo shrimp, is a crustacean belonging to the family Hippolytidae. It has a circumboreal distribution. It is found in South Korea on the east coast north of Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and in Japan from San'in to Hokkaido is Japan's second largest island and comprises the largest and northernmost prefecture, making up its own region. The Tsugaru Strait separates Hokkaidō from Honshu; the two islands are connected by the undersea railway Seikan Tunnel. The la ....

Placetron Wosnessenskii
''Placetron wosnessenskii'', common name the scaled crab, is a species of king crab found in most waters off North America's west coast. It is the only species in the genus ''Placetron''. Description Major characteristics include a soft leathery abdomen, a wide carapace narrowing at the anterior end much like a trapezoid, similar shaped chelae, and coloration ranging from a clouded green to reddish sometimes with banding along the legs. The name of this decapod is derived from the scale like pattern that covers its legs and partially covers its carapace. The odd structure of the chelae which are spoon-like in nature and are largely covered in setae. Range and habitat The scaled crab is found in waters ranging from Pribilof Islands to Puget Sound. In most instances it is found at depths of up to , but may also inhabit shallow intertidal areas. Possible areas on habitation include rocky substrates either near drop offs or among boulders. Biology The carapace width has ...

Lithodidae
King crabs are a taxon of decapod crustaceans chiefly found in cold seas. Because of their large size and the taste of their meat, many species are widely caught and sold as food, the most common being the red king crab (''Paralithodes camtschaticus''). King crabs are generally thought to be derived from hermit crab-like ancestors within the Paguridae, which may explain the asymmetry still found in the adult forms. This ancestry is supported by several anatomical peculiarities which are present only in king crabs and hermit crabs. Although some doubt still exists about this hypothesis, king crabs are the most widely quoted example of carcinisation among the Decapoda. The evidence for this explanation comes from the asymmetry of the king crab's abdomen, which is thought to reflect the asymmetry of hermit crabs, which must fit into a spiral shell. Controversial taxon Although formerly classified among the hermit crabs in the superfamily Paguroidea, king crabs are now placed i ...

Pandalus Tridens
''Pandalus'' (cold-water prawn) is a genus of shrimp in the family Pandalidae. Members of the genus are medium-sized and live on or near the seabed. Some species are the subject of commercial fisheries and are caught by trawling. One species, '' Pandalus montagui'', lives in association with the reef-building polychaete worm, ''Sabellaria spinulosa''.''Pandalus''
Marine Macrofauns Genus Trait Handbook. Retrieved 2011-11-04.
Their lifespan is typically three to five years, with sexual maturity being reached at an early age. Members of this genus are protandric hermaphrodites, starting life as males and later becoming females. Reproduction takes place in the spring when up to 3,000 eggs are p ...

Sea Anemone
Sea anemones are a group of predation, predatory marine invertebrates of the order (biology), order Actiniaria. Because of their colourful appearance, they are named after the ''Anemone'', a terrestrial flowering plant. Sea anemones are classified in the phylum Cnidaria, class Anthozoa, subclass Hexacorallia. As cnidarians, sea anemones are related to corals, jellyfish, tube-dwelling anemones, and ''hydra (genus), Hydra''. Unlike jellyfish, sea anemones do not have a Jellyfish#Life history and behavior, medusa stage in their life cycle. A typical sea anemone is a single polyp (zoology), polyp attached to a hard surface by its base, but some species live in soft sediment, and a few float near the surface of the water. The polyp has a columnar trunk topped by an oral disc with a ring of tentacles and a central mouth. The tentacles can be retracted inside the body cavity or expanded to catch passing prey. They are armed with cnidocytes (stinging cells). In many species, additional n ...

Pandalidae
The family Pandalidae is a taxon of caridean shrimp. These species are commonly called pandalid shrimp. They are edible and have high economic value. They are characterised by the subdivided carpus of the second pereiopod and, mainly, by the lack of the chelae (claws) on the first pereiopod. This is a cold-water family, and their representation in tropical areas is made by deep-sea shrimp. The genus ''Physetocaris'', sometimes placed in this family, is now considered to be in its own family, Physetocarididae. Genera The following genera are currently classified in the family Pandalidae: *'' Anachlorocurtis'' Hayashi, 1975 *'' Atlantopandalus'' Komai, 1999 *'' Austropandalus'' Holthuis, 1952 *'' Bitias'' Fransen, 1990 *'' Calipandalus'' Komai & Chan, 2003 *'' Chelonika'' Fransen, 1997 *'' Chlorocurtis'' Kemp, 1925 *'' Chlorotocella'' Balss, 1914 *'' Chlorotocus'' A.
