A modern species of the prehistoric hexacoral genus Acropora from near the Hawaiian islands.

This list of prehistoric hexacorals (hexacorallia) is an attempt to create a comprehensive listing of all genera that have ever been included in the hexacorallia which are known from the fossil record. [1] This list excludes purely vernacular terms. It includes all commonly accepted genera, but also genera that are now considered invalid, doubtful ( nomina dubia ), or were not formally published ( nomina nuda ), as well as junior synonyms of more established names, and genera that are no longer considered scleractinia.
