On Some Colour Variations and Adaptations in Actiniae

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  16 October 2009

Extract

The significance of the colouration of various Actiniaria has been of much interest to me for some time, and particularly the extreme variability displayed by certain of the most abundant species. Descriptions of colouration and coloured plates help but little toward elucidating these problems, the examination of numbers of the animals living in their natural environment being absolutely essential before any conclusions can be drawn.
