  ## Classification
  
  The differential feature between the 2 suborders of sea anemone; Enthemonae and Anenthemonae is that they are primarily characterised by having basilar muscles, mesoglea marginal sphincter and they lack acontia and carotinoids. They however, rarely lack these types of basilar muscles and sphincters causing the outer column to be smooth in texture.
