Abstract
⺠Anthopleura aureoradiata is abundant on mudflats and rocky shores in New Zealand. ⺠Sediment was ingested by the anemone and N transferred to its zooxanthellae. ⺠This nitrogen was insufficient to influence the N-status of the symbionts. ⺠Zooxanthellae on mudflats were more N-sufficient than those on rocky shores. ⺠This might result from high levels of ammonia in mud rather than particulate N.
