About Bunodosoma granuliferum

Bunodosoma granuliferum is a sea anemone (family Actiniidae) found in shallow rocky habitats of the tropical and subtropical western Atlantic, particularly along the Brazilian coast and Caribbean, with a column covered in distinct adhesive verrucae that help it attach to substrate. The species has been used in toxinological and pharmacological research, with several bioactive peptide toxins isolated from its nematocysts. It is an important predator in rocky intertidal and shallow reef communities. Genomic data have been generated for this species and are available in public databases, enabling comparative studies of cnidarian evolution and ecology.
