Mitochondrial and nuclear genes suggest that stony corals are monophyletic but most families of stony corals are not (Order Scleractinia, Class Anthozoa, Phylum Cnidaria). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Modern hard corals (Class Hexacorallia; Order Scleractinia) are widely studied because of their fundamental role in reef building and their superb fossil record extending back to the Triassic.

Shallow-water zoantharians (Cnidaria, Hexacorallia) from the Central Indo-Pacific [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2014 Despite the Central Indo-Pacific (CIP) and the Indonesian Archipelago being a well-known region of coral reef biodiversity, particularly in the ‘Coral Triangle’, little published information is available on its zoantharians (Cnidaria: Hexacorallia ...

Organisms Diversity & Evolution, 2022 Anemone-like animals belonging to the order Zoantharia are common anthozoans widely distributed from shallow to deep tropical and subtropical waters. Some species are well-known because of their high toxicity due to the presence of palytoxin (PLTX) in their tissues.

Functional characterization of specialized immune cells in a cnidarian reveals an ancestral antiviral program [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsExamining early-branching animal phyla can help reconstruct the evolutionary origins of immune cells. Here, we characterize immune-related cell programs in embryos of the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis, a model of Cnidaria, which diverged ~600 ...

Two new species of Neozoanthus (Cnidaria, Hexacorallia, Zoantharia) from the Pacific
ZooKeys, 2012 The zoanthid genus Neozoanthus was originally described in 1972 from a single species in Madagascar. This monotypic genus was placed within its own family, Neozoanthidae, given its unusual characters of only partial sand encrustation, and an endodermal ...

Species Diversity of Hexacorallia around the Satsunan Islands, Japan [PDF]
, 2017 The Satsunan Islands, in the middle to the north of the Ryukyu Islands, Japan, are located in an important location for biogeography, as there is a shift of marine fauna in this region from subtropical to temperate. However, few have studied about marine biodiversity of this region for many taxa, with exceptions such as fishes.
