Peachia Quinquecapitata
''Peachia quinquecapitata'', also known as the twelve-tentacled parasitic anemone, is a species of sea anemone in the family Haloclavidae. It is found in the Pacific Northwest. The larva is parasitic on certain species of Anthomedusae. Description ''Peachia quinquecapitata'' lives with its elongated column buried in the sand and its twelve tentacles fanned out on the surface. The oral disc is red and the translucent tentacles are banded with buff and brown in a chevron pattern. Like other members of the genus '' Peachia'', it has a "conchula", an enlargement on the lip by its mouth, which in this species is divided into five lobes. Distribution ''Peachia quinquecapitata'' is found in shallow seas in the Pacific Northwest of the United States including Puget Sound. Life cycle The life cycle of ''Peachia quinquecapitata'' was investigated in the laboratory. Spawning was induced by manipulating light levels. The eggs had a diameter of 120 µm and, after fertilisation, develo ...

Peachia Cylindrica
''Peachia cylindrica'' is a large species of sea anemone in the family Haloclavidae. It is normally found burrowed into soft substrates, the only visible part of the animal being the oral disc and tentacles which usually lie flat on the sand. It is the type species of the genus ''Peachia''.''Peachia cylindrica''
Marine Species Identification Portal. Retrieved 2011-10-09.


Description

When exposed, ''Peachia cylindrica'' can retract into a spherical shape but in its normal habitat, underwater and buried in the sand, it can extend to 30 cm (12 in) with a diameter of 2.5 cm (1 in). When extended, the lowest part of the column has a rounded base which is not adhesive to any hard structure. The main section ...

Haloclavidae
Haloclavidae is a family of sea anemones. Members of the family are found worldwide and many live largely buried in soft substrates with only their oral disc and tentacles protruding. Characteristics Members of this family mostly have elongated columns which are often differentiated into different regions. The column is either smooth or has tubercles or suckers on its surface. The base is often rounded and used for digging but in some species it is flattened and adhesive to small objects. There is usually no sphincter but when one is present, it is endodermal. The tentacles are short and there are seldom more than 48, arranged cyclically. The mesenteries or internal tissue walls are few. There are no muscles attaching them to the basal disc but they do have strong retractor muscles. At least six pairs of the mesenteries are perfect, reaching from the base as far as the actinopharynx or throat of the anemone. There is a single, well defined siphonoglyph The siphonoglyph is a ciliat ...
