[Cnidaria] Peachia

Tue Apr 14 12:40:57 PDT 2009

Hi Jo,

If they look like the attached photo I'd bet they were Peachia sp.  This
one was on a specimen of Mitrocoma cellularia from Monterey Bay.

Cheers,
Chad

Looks like Peachia.  I believe P. hilli is a local one for you, found on
Catostylus (see Badham, 1917).   Here are a couple refs. to get you
started.

Badham, C.  1917.  On a larval actinian parasitic in a rhizostome.
Quarterly
Journal of Microscopical Science.  62: 221-229.

McDermott, J. J., P. L. Zubkoff, and A. L. Lin. 1982. The ocurrence of
the
anemone *Peachia parasitica* as a symbiont in the scyphozoan *Cyanea
capillata* in the lower Chesapeake Bay. Estuaries 5:319?321.

Spaulding, J. G. 1972. The life cycle of *Peachia quinquecapitata*, an
anemone parasitic on medusae during its larval development. Biological
Bulletin 143:440?453.
