Relating to or characteristic of the Actiniaria, an order of sea anemones and related marine creatures.
From 'Actiniaria' (scientific order name, from Greek 'aktis' meaning ray) + Latin suffix '-ian' (relating to).
Sea anemones are named for 'rays' because of their radiating tentacles, and calling something actiniarian is like saying 'it's part of the ray-tentacled club'—some of nature's most alien-looking creatures that live right on our beaches!
