Resumen:
We report the first record of the sea anemone Anthopleura nigrescens on the Pacific coast of Central America. Five specimensfrom Mata Limon (Costa Rica) were collected from rocks of a man-made breakwater at sub-tidal level. Images of livespecimens are presented. A map with its worldwide distribution is included and we concluded that this actiniarian can beconsidered widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific.
