Anthozoa

Anthozois, aliorum cnidarianorum dissimilibus, non est statio vitalis medusae. Potius spermatozoa et ova liberant, quae planulam formant, quae vicissim ad quoddam substratum adhaeret, in quo animal crescit. Nonnulla anthozoa se quoque asexualiter reproducere possunt per gemmationem. Sunt plus quam 6100 species descriptae.

Anthozoa in tres subclasses dividi possunt: Octocorallia, Hexacorallia, Ceriantharia, quae greges monophyleticos constituunt, variasque in quaque subclassi polyporum structuras late monstrant. Hic autem habes classificationem secundum World Register of Marine Species:

• Subclassis Hexacorallia
  • Ordo Actiniaria
  • Ordo Antipatharia
  • Ordo Ceriantharia
  • Ordo Corallimorpharia
  • Ordo Rugosa †
  • Ordo Scleractinia
  • Ordo Zoantharia
• Subclassis Octocorallia
  • Ordo Alcyonacea
  • Ordo Helioporacea
  • Ordo Pennatulacea
