A solitary sea anemone species endemic to the marine coastal regions of the eastern Pacific, discovered and described by Pearse & Francis in 2000. Represents a distinct solitary species closely related to the aggregating sea anemone (Anthopleura elegantissima).
Intertidal and subtidal rocky coastal zones along the Pacific coastline, typically found attached to rocky surfaces in wave-exposed marine environments between 0-30 meters depth.
Plays a critical role in marine ecosystem structure, providing habitat and shelter for small marine organisms, contributing to biodiversity and serving as a key component of rocky shore ecological communities.
