Some zoophytes were dredged up by the chain of our trawl. Most were lovely sea anemone belonging to the family Actinidia, including among other species, the Phyctalis protexta, native to this part of the ocean: a small cylindrical trunk adorned with vertical lines, mottled with red spots, and crowned by a wondrous blossoming of tentacles.
La barredera dragó algunos zoófitos, en su mayor parte unas hermosas fictalinas pertenecientes a la familia de los actínidos, y entre otras especies la Phyctalis protexta, originaria de esa parte del océano, pequeño tronco cilíndrico ornado de líneas verticales y moteado de puntos rojos que termina en un maravilloso despliegue de tentáculos.
