Actinernus sp. WN-2022 is an undescribed deep-sea sea anemone (class Anthozoa, order Actiniaria, family Actinernidae) collected from a deep-sea environment, representing a potentially new species typically found in deep oceanic benthic habitats attached to hard substrates or dwelling in soft sediments. Its notably large genome may reflect expansions of repetitive elements common in deep-sea invertebrates. This species provides valuable comparative data for understanding anemone evolution and deep-sea adaptation.
