Anthopleura is a genus of sea anemones, of the family Actiniidae.
Aliciidae is a family of sea anemones, comprising the following genera:
Amphimedon is a genus of sponges with over 60 described species. In 2009, Amphimedon queenslandica was the first species of sponge to have its genome sequenced.
Allopathes desbonni is a species of coral in the family Antipathidae. It was described by Édouard Placide Duchassaing de Fontbressin and Giovanni Michelotti in 1864. The species is known from the Gulf of Mexico and from near the Lesser Antilles.
Leptogorgia is a genus of soft coral in the family Gorgoniidae. The genus has a widespread distribution with members being found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean from Western Europe to South Africa, the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic coasts of North and South America, the Antilles and the Pacific coast of America. Species are found in both shallow and deep waters.
Agelas is a genus of sea sponge in the class Demospongiae.
Lebrunia neglecta is a species of sea anemone in the family Aliciidae. It is found in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.
Plexauridae is a family of marine colonial octocorals in the phylum Cnidaria. Members of this family are found in shallow tropical and subtropical seas. Many species contain symbiotic photosynthetic protists called zooxanthellae.
Édouard Placide Duchassaing de Fontbressin was a French naturalist. He is noted for his work in botany and spongiology.
Niphatidae is a family of demosponges in the order Haplosclerida. It contains the following genera:
Neopetrosia proxima is a species of marine petrosiid sponge native to the tropical and subtropical waters of the western Atlantic Ocean.
Palythoa is a genus of anthozoans in the order Zoantharia.
Carijoa riisei, the snowflake coral or branched pipe coral, is a species of soft coral in the family Clavulariidae. It was originally thought to have been native to the tropical western Atlantic Ocean and subsequently spread to other areas of the world such as Hawaii and the greater tropical Pacific, where it is regarded as an invasive species. The notion that it is native to the tropical western Atlantic was perpetuated from the fact that the type specimen, described by Duchassaing & Michelotti in 1860, was collected from the US Virgin Islands. It has subsequently been shown through molecular evidence that it is more likely that the species is in fact native to the Indo-Pacific and subsequently spread to the western tropical Atlantic most likely as a hull fouling species prior to its original description.
Carijoa is a genus of soft corals in the family Clavulariidae.
Ellisellidae is a family of soft corals.
Erythropodium is a genus of soft coral in the family Anthothelidae.
Ricordea is genus of corals. It is the only genus in the monotypic family Ricordeidae.
