MATERIAL. LV-82-14, 61.1326°N 174. 9450ºE – 61.1333°N 174.9453ºE, depth 570– 565 m, four specimens photographed; LV-82-15, 61.1380°N 174.9382ºE – 61.1401°N 174.9347ºE, depth 550– 536 m, two specimens photographed.

REMARKS. Medium sized (up to 8 cm in the height and the diameter of the tentacular crown) dark, plain brownish-violet sea anemones occurring on pebbles or another hard substrate on muddy bottom. High cylindrical column is much wider distally, the oral disk three times wider than the column. The tentacles are arranged in five cycles, conical, not longer than the radius of the oral disc. Six specimens are photographed (but not collected) on the Koryak slope in background community dominated by brittle stars Ophiophthalmus normani (Lyman, 1879) at 536– 570 m.
