Argentina, from Santa Clara del Mar (37850′S 57832′W) to Mar del Plata (38805′S 57832′W).
The species inhabits crevices, crevices and tide pools in the intertidal and subtidal zones.
Bunodosoma zamponii is very similar to Bunodosoma cangicangicum, a species found along the coasts of Brazil and Uruguay.
The new species is distinguished from all other species in the field by the coloration and the presence of non-adhesive vesicles on the column, moreover to defend against genetically alien conspecifics Acrorhagi.
The species is polyphagous and opportunistic.
The sea anemone is gonochoric, with an oviparous-pelagic-planktotrophic lifestyle.
Etymology
Bunodosoma zamponii is named after Dr. Mauricio O. Zamponi, in recognition of his numerous contributions to the study of cnidarians, especially in Argentina.
