Comments: The distribution of Ralfsia bornetii is confounded by several authors believing it is a life-history stage of<br />

Stragularia clavata. Following Zvyagintsev et al. (2011), we treat it as a separate species and as introduced into the Sea<br />

of Japan. Based on its distribution, we assume it is native to the North Atlantic.<br />
