Edwardsiella sp.

MATERIAL. LV-75-21, 55.4818ºN 167.2573ºE, 2841 m, one specimen photographed.

REMARKS. Small inconspicuous sea anemone with worm-like column hidden in substrate photographically documented on the northern slope of the Vulcanologov Massif at 2841 m is identified as a member of the genus Edwardsiella (subfamily Edwardsiellinae , see Sanamyan, Sanamyan, 2021 for this subfamily name). Its rather long tapering scapulus and upper part of the scapus, covered by periderm, project from substrate and are well visible. Members of this genus live in crevices in rock, between the stones and other hard substrates, are difficult to collect and therefore the records are few. In the North Pacific Edwardsiella was recorded only once: a shallow water species of this genus was recently recorded in British Columbia (Sanamyan et al., 2018).
