Anthemiphyllia is a genus of corals within the family Anthemiphylliidae. [1] There are currently 8 extant and 2 extinct species assigned to the genus. [1] [2]
Oculina is a genus of colonial stony coral in the family Oculinidae. These corals are mostly found in the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and Bermuda but some species occur in the eastern Pacific Ocean. They occur at depths down to 1000 metres.
The Caryophylliidae are a family of stony corals found from the tropics to temperate seas, and from shallow to very deep water.
Dendrophylliidae is a family of stony corals. Most members are azooxanthellate and thus have to capture food with their tentacles instead of relying on photosynthesis to produce their food. The World Register of Marine Species includes these genera in the family:
Balanophyllia is a genus of solitary corals in the order of stony corals.
Stylaster is a genus of hydroids in the family Stylasteridae.
Dendrophyllia is a genus of stony cup corals in the family Dendrophylliidae. Members of this genus are found at depths down to about 900 metres (3,000 ft). They are azooxanthellate corals, meaning that they do not contain symbiotic photosynthetic dinoflagellates as do many species of coral.
Schizocyathidae is a family of stony corals. There are currently three genera included in this family and each of them is monotypic. Members of the family are azooxanthellate, deep water species.
Colangia is a genus of small corals in the family Caryophylliidae.
Dasmosmilia is a genus of small corals in the family Caryophylliidae.
Flabellum is a genus of marine corals belonging to the family Flabellidae. These are a diverse group of azooxanthellate corals with about 190 species, 47 of which are extant. They are exclusively solitary corals and many are deep water species.
Chiridota is a genus of sea cucumbers in the family Chiridotidae. It is an extant genus but some fossil species are known.
Deltocyathus is a genus of cnidarians belonging to the monotypic family Deltocyathidae.
Anomocora is a genus of cnidarians belonging to the family Caryophylliidae.
Concentrotheca is a genus of cnidarians belonging to the family Caryophylliidae.
Enallopsammia is a genus of cnidarians belonging to the family Dendrophylliidae.
Anthemiphylliidae is a family of corals belonging to the order Scleractinia.
Fungiacyathus is a genus of corals belonging to the monotypic family Fungiacyathidae.
Eguchipsammia is a genus of corals belonging to the family Dendrophylliidae.
Gardineria is a genus of corals belonging to the family Gardineriidae.
Polymyces is a genus of corals belonging to the family Flabellidae.
