Synallactida is a rankless clade of sea cucumbers, but is referred to as an order. [1] Taxa within Synallactida were previously classified in an order called Aspidochirotida, which was determined to be polyphyletic in 2017. [2]
Synallactida includes over 130 species in three extant families and two extinct genera: [3]
Taoniinae is a subfamily containing ten genera of glass squids.
The Stichopodidae are a family of sea cucumbers, part of the order Synallactida.
Holothuriida is an order of sea cucumbers. Taxa within the order Holothuriida were previously classified in the order Aspidochirotida, which was determined to be polyphyletic in 2017. Some taxa were also reclassified into the clades Synallactida and Persiculida.
Corallimorpharia is an order of marine cnidarians closely related to stony or reef building corals (Scleractinia). They occur in both temperate and tropical climates, although they are mostly tropical. Temperate forms tend to be very robust, with wide and long columns, whereas tropical forms tend to have very short columns with a wide oral disc and very short tentacles. The tentacles are usually arranged in rows radiating from the mouth. Many species occur together in large groups, although there are recorded instances of individuals. In many respects, they resemble the stony corals, except for the absence of a stony skeleton. Morphological and molecular evidence suggests that they are very closely related to stony corals.
