Abstract
Diadumene
lineata
(
Actiniaria
:
Diadumenidae
) is a prolific invader of coastal environments around the world. First described
from Asia, this sea anemone has only been reported once from the western Gulf of Mexico
at Port Aransas, Texas. No subsequent sampling has located this species at this locality.
The first record of the reappearance of
D.
lineata
on the Texas coast from three locations in the Galveston Bay area is provided, and
its geographic distribution and taxonomic history reviewed.
