Resumen:
As part of a biodiversity study on intertidal invertebrates, several specimens of sea anemones from the west coast of Baja California Peninsula were collected in June 2016. The taxonomic features of these specimens agree well with those of the species Anthopleura radians, a sea anemone that was recently described from northern Chile. The present study represents the first published report of this species outside the range of distribution documented in the original description, which includes new images of the external and internal features of Anthopleura radians, as well as a complete characterization of their cnidae. The differences between Anthopleura radians from other species of the genus reported from the eastern Pacific are also discussed.
