Angianthula is a genus of cnidarians belonging to the family Botrucnidiferidae. [1]
The species of this genus are found in Western Africa. [1]
Species: [1]
Tube-dwelling anemones or ceriantharians look very similar to sea anemones but belong to an entirely different subclass of anthozoans. They are solitary, living buried in soft sediments. Tube anemones live inside and can withdraw into tubes, which are composed of a fibrous material made from secreted mucus and threads of nematocyst-like organelles known as ptychocysts. Within the tubes of these ceriantharians, more than one polyp is present, which is an exceptional trait because species that create tube systems usually contain only one polyp per tube. Ceriantharians were formerly classified in the taxon Ceriantipatharia along with the black corals but have since been moved to their own subclass, Ceriantharia.
Acanthochitona is a genus of chitons in the family Acanthochitonidae, of worldwide distribution.
Notoplax is a genus of chitons in the family Acanthochitonidae.
Paludomidae, common name paludomids, is a family of freshwater snails, gastropod molluscs in the clade Sorbeoconcha.
Entonomenia is a genus of cavibelonian solenogasters, shell-less, worm-like mollusks.
Paragymnomenia is a genus of cavibelonian solenogasters, shell-less, worm-like, marinemollusks.
Tonicia is a genus of chitons in the family Chitonidae. The genus was recently restricted to include only 12 New World species, with the more species-rich and exclusively Old World subgenus Lucilina Dall, 1882, being elevated to a separate genus. Of these 12, ten species are found in the eastern Pacific, one in the Magellan province and one in the Caribbean Sea . However, a study published in 2019 which used molecular systematics to compare the eastern Pacific Tonicia species suggested that there are only 9 extant species in the eastern Pacific.
Sertularella is a genus of hydroids in the family Sertulariidae.
The Diphyidae are a family of siphonophores. These are colonial siphonophores with two nectophores arranged one behind the other. The front one includes a somatocyst, while the hind one does not. The somatocyst often contains an oil droplet for buoyancy control. A nectosac in each nectophore allows the organism to swim efficiently.
Cerianthidae is a family of tube-dwelling anemones in the order Spirularia of the subclass Ceriantharia.
Paraperipatus is a genus of velvet worms in the family Peripatopsidae. They are found in New Guinea and Maluku, Indonesia.
Anthoactis is a genus of cnidarians belonging to the family Cerianthidae.
Isodactylactis is a genus of cnidarians belonging to the family Cerianthidae.
Hensenanthula is a genus of cnidarians belonging to the family Botrucnidiferidae.
Bursanthus is a genus of cnidarians belonging to the family Cerianthidae.
