Morphological gradient observed between Heteractis crispa (a) and Heteractis aurora (e). Panels b, c, and d illustrate intermediate phenotypes in the Red Sea. Tentacles of individuals more closely resembling H. crispa were smooth, but occasionally lined by pigment; individuals more closely resembling H. aurora possessed tentacles which were broken into characteristics “beads”, in varying degrees. a: Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea; b: Farasan Banks, Red Sea; c: Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea; d: Farasan Banks, Red Sea; e: Maldives, Arabian Sea (photos by Morgan Bennett-Smith, Francesca Benzoni and Benjamin Titus)
