, a genus of sea anemones within the family Edwardsiidae, is characterized by tenaculi on the surface of the column, often covered by sand grains. Most species of this genus are known from areas deeper than 200 m. From Japanese waters, three specimens were recently collected, and are formally described here as sp. nov. and sp. nov. The latter species was collected from 6 m depth, and this is the shallowest record of this genus. In addition, sp. nov. has a few sack-like structures in its mesoglea, which might be the key to the evolution of nemathybomes.
海葵科爱德华氏海葵属的一个属，其特征是在柱体表面有坚韧的纤毛，通常被沙粒覆盖。该属的大多数物种都生活在 200 米以上的水域。最近从日本水域采集到三个标本，被正式描述为 nov. sp. 和 nov. sp. 后者种采集于 6 米深处，这是该属的最浅记录。此外，nov. sp. 的中胶层中有几个袋状结构，这可能是 nemathybomes 进化的关键。
