Their large body size, characteristic ruff of tentacles, and ability to thrive on artificial and natural substrates make these animals conspicuous and common on rocky ledges, pilings, wharfs, shipwrecks, and bivalve reefs. Their reported range encompasses all temperate habitats in the northern hemisphere plus a handful of locales in the temperate southern hemisphere that have typically been characterized as anthropogenic introductions. Understanding the range of <i>M. senile</i> has been confounded by confusion about its circumscription relative to its congeners and inconsistency in the names used. Here, we summarize the taxonomy of the genus and clarify the status of <i>M. senile</i>. Based on results of recent phylogenetic studies, we consider <i>Metridium</i> to have two valid species: <i>M</i>. <i>farcimen</i> (Brandt, 1835) and <i>M</i>. <i>senile</i>. We recognize <i>M. senile</i> as the valid, appropriate name for all populations of <i>Metridium</i> in the Atlantic and for some of the populations in the Pacific. We consider <i>M</i>. <i>dianthus</i> (Ellis, <a href=\"https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12526-024-01425-9#ref-CR36\">1767</a>), <i>M</i>. <i>exile</i> Hand 1955, <i>M</i>. <i>huanghaiense</i> Pei, 1998, and <i>M</i>. <i>sinensis</i> Pei, 1998 to be junior synonyms of <i>M</i>. <i>senile</i>. We clarify the differences between <i>M</i>. <i>senile</i> and <i>M</i>. <i>farcimen</i>, and comment on the status of <i>M</i>. <i>canum</i> Stuckey, 1914.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Taxonomy and nomenclature in the widespread and well-known sea anemone <i>Metridium </i>de Blainville, 1824","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-12 01:32:25.908026","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2024,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2024-04-16","DateCreate":"2024-04-16","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1007/s12526-024-01425-9"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":391807,"PubliDate":2024,"Pagination":"33","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"54","Issue":"2","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":141757,"SerRR":"Marine Biodiversity.
