Genera: [2]
The Terebellidae is a marine family of polychaete worms, of which the type taxon is Terebella, described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1767 12th edition of Systema Naturae.
Verticordiidae is a family of benthic marine bivalves in the superorder Anomalodesmata. These clams range from 2 - 200 millimeters in length and are mainly found in coastal waters surrounding Australia and the Americas, though a few species within this family such as Haliris mediopacifica are found in the middle of the ocean. Verticordiidae is known for being a family of septibranchs, or predatory bivalves, rather than filter feeders. Clams dig vertical burrows in substrate and use papillae around the edges of their inhalant siphons to detect microscopic prey. Some clams in this family, specifically in the genus Trigonulina, have distinct extended circular formations on their shells.
Boonea is a small genus of small sea snails, pyramidellid gastropod mollusks.
Seguenziidae is a family of very small deepwater sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Seguenzioidea.
Arminidae is a family of sea slugs, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Arminoidea.
Aplousobranchia is an order of sea squirts in the class Ascidiacea, first described by Fernando Lahille in 1886. They are colonial animals, and are distinguished from other sea squirts by the presence of relatively simple pharyngeal baskets. This provides the etymology of their name: in ancient greek, ἁ.πλοος-ους (ha.ploos-ous) means "simple". The posterior part of the abdomen contains the heart and gonads, and is typically larger than in other sea squirts.
Propilidium is a genus of sea snails, the true limpets, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Lepetidae.
Pleurotomella is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Raphitomidae.
Inodrillia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Horaiclavidae.
Eudolium is a genus of large sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Tonnidae, the tun shells.
Hormathiidae is a family of sea anemones in the class Anthozoa.
Scleraxonia is a suborder of corals, a member of the phylum Cnidaria.
Raphitomidae is a family of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Conoidea.
Polyschides is a genus of gadilid tusk shell (scaphopod).
Pocillopora capitata, commonly known as the cauliflower coral, is a principal hermatypic coral found in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. P. capitata is a colonial species of stony coral of the class Anthozoa, the order Scleractinia, and the family Pocilloporidae. This species was first documented and described by Addison Emery Verrill in 1864. P. capitata is threatened by many of the effects of climate change, including — but not limited to — increased temperatures that cause bleaching and hypoxic conditions.
