Closely related to the aggregating anemone, this species was given its own name only two years ago. Up until then it was known as a form of aggregating anemone that lived below sea level in Southern California and did not clone, remaining solitary.

With CoralAvery's help I've re-IDd this from aggregating anemone to starburst anemone.
