Philorene is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Skeneidae. [1]
The subdiscoidal shell is umbilicate. The spire is depressed. The whorls are rounded and the body whorl is descending. The aperture is circular. The peristome is continuous. [2]
Species within the genus Philorene include: [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.
