Note

Reproduction in three species of sea anemones from Key West, Florida, was studied from October 1977 until July 1978. Condylactis gigantea is dioecious, has a 1:1 sex ratio, and exhibits an oviparous → planktonic → lecithotrophic reproductive pattern, based on the scheme of Chia, modified by the author. Phymanthus crucifer is also dioecious and exhibits a sex ratio not significantly different from 1:1; however, this species is viviparous. Bartholomea annulata exhibits imperfect gynodioecious hermaphroditism, accompanied by asexual reproduction by pedal laceration; it is oviparous → planktonic → planktotrophic.
