SHEPARD ET AL.: ECOLOGY OF CERIANTHARIA 



niques alone; methods inadequate for collecting 

 deep-burrowing adults, and providing information 

 on behavioral and spatial relationships between 

 Ceriantharia and other community residents. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



Funding for submersible time was provided by 

 NOAA's Office of Undersea Research, Washington, 

 D.C. Ann Frame, NMFS Sandy Hook Laboratory, 

 NJ, identified invertebrate specimens. We thank 

 Kenneth Sebens and J. C. den Hartog for critically 

 reviewing the manuscript. Alan Hulbert and Michael 

 Pennington provided advice on data analysis. Han- 

 nah Goodale, Jean Klemm, and Connie Fontaine 

 typed the various drafts of the manuscript. Special 

 thanks to the submersible and ship crews who made 

 the data collection possible: R/V Johnson (JSL), R/V 

 Atlantic Twin (Nekton), and R/V Lulu (Alvin). 



We dedicate this effort to the memory of John 

 Lamont, whose talents, patience, and humor made 

 our daily burdens easier to bear.
