Corallimorpharians (Anthozoa: Corallimorpharia) from the Argentinean Sea [PDF]
Zootaxa, 2019 Corallimorpharians are a relative small group of anthozoan cnidarians, also known as jewel sea anemones. They resemble actiniarian sea anemones in lacking a skeleton and being solitary, but resemble scleractinian corals in external and internal morphology, and they are considered to be the sister group of the stony corals.

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2020 The anemone-crab mutualism is ubiquitous in temperate and tropical marine environments. In this symbiosis, one or more anemones live on a shell inhabited by a hermit crab and reciprocal phoretic, trophic, and defensive benefits are exchanged between the ...

Shallow-water black corals (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Hexacorallia: Antipatharia) from SW Madagascar.
Zootaxa, 2020 Antipatharians, also known as black corals, represent a small group of anthozoan hexacorallians found in all oceans of the world. They are generally considered a deep-water taxon; however, some of the most diverse communities are known from tropical ...

Global Cold-Water Coral Biodiversity Redistribution Under Projected Climate Change. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolCold‐water corals are key habitat providers in the world's oceans, yet their global distribution, diversity patterns, and vulnerability to climate change remain poorly understood. Our study mapped the global distribution of 741 cold‐water coral species and showed that while the overall coral biome may persist in the future, many species will shift ...

Corallimorpharians are not “naked corals”: insights into relationships between Scleractinia and Corallimorpharia from phylogenomic analyses [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Calcification is one of the most distinctive traits of scleractinian corals. Their hard skeletons form the substratum of reef ecosystems and confer on corals their remarkable diversity of shapes.
