) states that the tentacles are in two circles of 15 large tentacles on the outside and 10 small tentacles on the inside. However, in the large specimen, described above, there are clearly five very small tentacles on the inside and 20 large tentacles, apparently arranged in two rings, on the outside. This difference may not be very significant as the arrangement cannot be clearly discerned if the tentacles are retracted. Also insignificant is the fragmentation of the interradial plates. These differences and a few others concerning the spicules may be geographic variations in this species which is well characterised by its pseudobuttons and rosettes in the body wall, and elongated multilocular plates in the podia.
