Anthopleura midori (Moegi iso kinchaku) - Anthopleura midori
A coelenterate of the Anthozoa class, family Anemonidae (illustration). It is also called the green sea anemone because it is entirely green. It is distributed along the coasts of southwestern Hokkaido, Honshu, and Kyushu, and is commonly found in the crevices of rocky reefs and in areas where pebbles and sand have accumulated. Its body is cylindrical, 2-6 cm high and 2-4 cm wide, but it often tapers in the middle. The body wall is lined with 96 small bright green warts arranged vertically, and is covered with small amounts of sand and shell fragments. The tentacles are pale yellow with two green stripes running the entire length and reddish brown at the base.
