Observations of the likelihood of asexual reproduction in sea anemone Bunodosoma goanense den Hartog & Vennam, 1993

During asexual reproduction, according to Chia (1976), sea anemones can regenerate by cloning themselves through binary fission where an individual separates longitudinally or transversely to form two equal halves, pedal laceration during which small pieces of tissues of sea anemone separate from the base and form new individuals. According to Shick (1991), sea anemones rely upon asexual reproduction rather than sexual reproduction in harsh environmental conditions. The photographs are observations and we, therefore, hypothesize the possibility of longitudinal fission in B. goanense and the likelihood of pedal laceration in the genus Bunodosoma.
