| Abstract |
We report first records of five species of sea anemones: Hormathianthus tuberculatus, Neoaiptasia commensali, Anthopleura waridi, Paracondylactis sinensis and Entacmaea quadricolor from the coast of Pakistan. For the first three species, this is the first time that in vivo pictures are presented in the scientific literature. In addition, this study provides first distributional records of the first two species since their original descriptions. This study raises the number of Actiniaria species reported from Pakistan to nine. |
