Low Isles, Queensland, Australia.

Distribution.

Queensland, Australia, shallow waters.

Remarks.

Carlgren (1937) described this species from northeastern Australia and this is the only study so far on this species. Although the description is adequate, it does not include detailed information. In general, the Australian coast is vastly understudied regarding Ceriantharia species diversity. The taxonomic status of A. australiae in relation to Arachnanthus bockii remains to be studied in detail.
