Article appears to be conflating different species, presenting information and photographs about Cribrinopsis albopunctata and other Urticina species like Urticina grebelnyi. Article presents this species as North American when records of this species are mostly in the North sea and North Atlantic around the UK: https://records.nbnatlas.org/occurrences/search?q=lsid:NHMSYS0021053628&nbn_loading=true#tab_mapView Records from around North America are almost entirely from the 80s and 90s increasing the chance of being erroneous, while records within the last decade are all around the UK: https://obis.org/taxon/100833 See also: Seasearch Guide to Sea Anemones and Corals of Britain and Ireland, by Chris Wood. ~2026-33912-86 (talk) 15:05, 8 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
