Archisaccophyllia kunmingensis, Hou et al. 2005, 20 mm

Specimen purchased in 2003.

Suggested to be an anemone (dark area representing digestive tract), but reminiscent of the tentaculate Phlogites longus, with the dark area representing "spiral gut and gonads" ( https://www.academia.edu/4190268/The_Lower_Cambrian_Phlogites_Luo_and_Hu_re-considered )
