Reproductive biology of 3 species of sea anemones was studied over an 8 mo period
in the intertidal zone along the central Atlantic coast of Florida. Actinia bermudensis on the
north jetty at Fort Pierce Inlet spawned at the end of September 1977; planulae were brooded
throughout the yr. The sex distribution of 82 animals examined was 41 females, 5 males and 36
without gonads. Aiptasia pallid a from Sebastian Inlet spawned in September 1977 and possibly
in March 1978; the skewed sex distribution of 134 animals examined was 34 females, 2 males
and 98 without gonads. Bunodosoma cavernata from the south jetty at Jupiter Inlet spawned
in October 1977; planulae were brooded throughout the yr. The sex ratio of 75 animals examined
was closer to one-to-one (19 females, 29 males, 26 lacked gonads, and 1 hermaphrodite).
