The sea anemone Calliactis tricolor (Le Sueur, 1817) is an ecologically important member of the benthic community in coastal and coral reefs of the tropical Atlantic, particularly for their propensity to establish mutualistic symbiotic relationships with hermit crabs. This species is presumably distributed throughout the Gulf of Mexico; however, it had never been recorded in the southwestern part of the Gulf. Here we document the first record of C. tricolor in 2 coral reef localities of the Veracruz reef system, Mexico, and update the number of species of sea anemones known for the region.

A new species of amphipod of the genus Lysianopsis from the Veracruz Coral Reef System, SW Gulf of Mexico is described. Lysianopsis adelae n. sp., was collected in the sediments at the base of the sponge Aplysina fistularis at a depth of 10 m. The differences among L. alba, L. hummelincki, and L. ozona, recorded from Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea are pointed out and they are compared with the new species.

RESUMEN. Medusas, sifonóforos y ctenóforos son organismos ecológicamente importantes por su papel como depredadores voraces en la cadena trófica, ya que en altas densidades ocasionan problemas económicos. En las costas mexicanas del Golfo de México existe conocimiento de la riqueza taxonómica de estos animales macrozooplanctónicos, pero aún se desconoce qué especies se encuentran en los arrecifes coralinos del norte de Veracruz. Este estudio presenta los primeros registros de este grupo para el Sistema Arrecifal Lobos-Tuxpan. Se identificaron tres especies de medusas, un sifonóforo y dos especies de ctenóforos a partir de registros fotográficos obtenidos en los arrecifes Tuxpan, Enmedio, Tanhuijo, Oro Verde y Lobos. El taxón Cyanea sp. se registra por primera vez para el suroeste del Golfo de México y Cestum veneris es nuevo registro para el litoral veracruzano. Las especies Aurelia aurita (medusa), Physalia physalis (sifonóforo) y Mnemiopsis leidyi (ctenóforo) se observaron en la mayoría de los arrecifes estudiados. La información aquí presentada puede ser útil para el sector turístico al evitar las medusas y sifonóforos que son tóxicos.First records of jellyfish (Cubozoa, Scyphozoa), Siphonophores (Hydrozoa), and Ctenophores (Tentaculata) of the Lobos-Tuxpan Reef System, MexicoABSTRACT. Jellyfish, siphonophores and ctenophores are ecologically important organisms due to their role as voracious predators in the trophic chain, which in high densities may cause economic problems. There is knowledge of the taxonomic wealth of these macrozooplanktonic animals in the Mexican coasts of the Gulf of Mexico, but it is still unknown what species are found in the coral reefs from the north of Veracruz. This study presents the first records of this group for the Lobos-Tuxpan Reef System. Three species of jellyfish, one siphonophore and two ctenophores, were identified through photographic records belonging to the Tuxpan, Enmedio, Tanhuijo, Oro Verde and Lobos reefs. For the first time, the species Cyanea sp. for the South-West of the Gulf of Mexico and Cestum veneris for the Veracruz coast are recorded. The species Aurelia aurita (jellyfish), Physalia physalis (siphonophore) and Mnemiopsis leidyi (ctenephore) were observed in most of the studied reefs. The information provided here may be useful in the tourist sector to avoid toxic jellyfish and siphonophores.
