Vertical bars represent ± 1 standard deviation (SD). These data were used to construct the phenogram shown in Figure 7. itative description. Specimens of both A. artemisia and A. xanthogrammica formed distinct clades. A. sola was not clearly separated from A. elegantissima. Aposymbiotic in- dividuals of A. elegantissima presented a separate clade, and the occurrence of one specimen of .4. sola in this clade was owing to its exceptionally low concentration of mycospo- rine-2 glycine (less than half the mean value for the group), yielding an MAA profile distinctly like that of aposymbiotic specimens of A. elegantissima. Large and small specimens of A. xanthogrammica were not separated by their molar fractions of MAAs used to construct the phenogram, but were separable by their absolute concentrations of MAAs (Figs. 4 and 5). Feeding experiment Specimens of A. elegantissima readily ingested and re- tained the ocular lenses of C. liimjms. The fed anemones produced no visible fecal pellets or egesta. perhaps because the proteinaceous lenses (average WVV = 23 mg, which was = 1% of the anemones' average fresh weight) were com- pletely absorbed (a !%• ration of brine shrimps would be at least 90% absorbed: Zamer, 1986). These lenses contained principally palythene and usujirene, with a smaller amount of palythine and a trace of asterina-330 (not quantified). Unfed specimens of A. elegantissima from Bodega Bay contained the usual complement of MAAs seen in t
