Specimens of this species were previously identified in literature as Epizoanthus patagonicus. However, as it has been pointed by Sinniger and Haussermann (2009) original description of Epizoanthus patagonicus states that Epizoanthus patagonicus has rust-red tentacles and differ from this Chilean species.
