A New genus of Soft Coral of the Family Alcyoniidae (Cnidaria, Octocorallia) with Re-Description of a New Combination and Description of a New Species [PDF]

, 2011
A new genus, Aldersladum (family Alcyoniidae), is established to accommodate a previously described species, Effl atounaria sodwanae Benayahu, 1993 (family Xeniidae) from Sodwana Bay, South Africa that was wrongly assigned to the latter genus.

Sediment‐stressed reefs over the past 420 Myr

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
In order to fully elucidate the relationship between siliciclastic sedimentation and reef development, there needs to be a significant step change in how we record ancient and recent reefs. Only through the collection of constrained quantitative data, we can progress beyond the largely conjectural associations postulated for many ancient reefal systems.

Briarenols C–E, New Polyoxygenated Briaranes from the Octocoral Briareum excavatum

Molecules, 2017
Three new polyoxygenated briarane diterpenoids, briarenols C–E (1–3), were isolated from the octocoral Briareum excavatum. The structures of briaranes 1–3 were elucidated by interpretation of spectroscopic data, and the methylenecyclohexane ring in 1 was

Artificial reproduction of octocoral (Plumarella flabellata).

Pakistan Veterinary Journal, 2012
The reproductive biology of Octocoral (Plumarella flabellata) in artificial habitats located in Northwest of Persian Gulf, Iran was studied by histological examination of gonad development. Various sizes of colonies were collected to determine the relationship between colony size and sexual maturity.

REDISCOVERY OF AN ENIGMATIC OCTOCORAL, PSEUDOGORGIA GODEFFROYI KOLLIKER, FROM SOUTHERN AUSTRALIA AND A DISCUSSION ON ITS SYSTEMATIC POSITION [PDF]

, 1973
Specimens of an octocoral of blade-like form, recently collected by Mrs. Jeanette E. WATSON of the National Museum of Victoria from eastern south coasts of Australia, have been examined and revealed to be Pseudogorgia godeffroyi KOLLIKER, that was once ...

Survival, rarity, and extinction in tropical stony corals

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Many reef‐building tropical corals are becoming rare. We considered the meaning of rarity in corals and highlighted taxa that have reached low abundances in the last few decades. The difficulties of quantifying rarity in the marine environment arise from the sheer scale and 3‐dimensional nature of the biome and the inherent challenges therein ...

Biological Regulation of Coaxial Calcite‐Aragonite‐Calcite Skeleton Formation in a Deep‐Sea Gorgonian Coral

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Coral biomineralization typically yields either aragonite (in most scleractinians) or calcite (in octocorals), yet the drivers of this polymorph choice remain debated. Here we report a deep‐sea gorgonian coral (Callogorgia sp.) with a coaxial calcite–aragonite–calcite skeleton.

Evolutionary dynamics of a common sub-Antarctic octocoral family [PDF]

, 2014
Sequence data were obtained for five different loci, both mitochondrial (cox1, mtMutS, 16S) and nuclear (18S, 28S rDNA), from 64 species representing 25 genera of the common deep-sea octocoral family Primnoidae.
