Info

Cylista elegans (Dalyell, 1848)

This common European species was widely known under the name Sagartia elegans. The generic nomen Sagartia was, however, incorrectly applied for this and all other Sagartia species. The correct generic nomen for it (as well as for several other species formerly known as Sagartia) is Cylista.

Sagartia elegans is a species of sea anemone in the family Sagartiidae. It is found in coastal areas of northwest Europe at depths down to 50 metres.
