New record of Calliactis tricolor (Le Sueur, 1817)(Cnidaria, Actinaria, Hormathiidae) from northeastern brazilian coast.
We report the first occurrence of the sea anemone Calliactis tricolor (Le Sueur, 1817) from the State of Pernambuco (Brazil), associated with the mollusk species Semicassis granulata (Born, 1778), and the shell occupied by hermit crab Clibanarius symmetricus (Randall, 1840). The invertebrate species...

| Summary: | We report the first occurrence of the sea anemone Calliactis tricolor (Le Sueur, 1817) from the State of Pernambuco (Brazil), associated with the mollusk species Semicassis granulata (Born, 1778), and the shell occupied by hermit crab Clibanarius symmetricus (Randall, 1840). The invertebrate species were collected as bycatch fauna through fishing activity in Guadalupe beach (8° 41' 26.81" S; 35° 3' 47.98" W), northeastern Brazil, in August 2019, at depth of 20 m, using a bottom trawl net (1 cm of mesh). The presence of C. tricolor in the State of Pernambuco expands its distributional range in the northeastern Brazilian coast and fills the gap of occurrence between the States of Ceará and Bahia (previous records). |
