The Biology and Evolution of Calcite and Aragonite Mineralization in Octocorallia
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Octocorallia (class Anthozoa, phylum Cnidaria) is a group of calcifying corals displaying a wide diversity of mineral skeletons. This includes skeletal structures composed of different calcium carbonate polymorphs (aragonite and calcite). This represents

The proteotranscriptomic characterization of venom in the white seafan Eunicella singularis elucidates the evolution of Octocorallia arsenal [PDF]
Open BiologyAll the members of the phylum Cnidaria are characterized by the production of venom in specialized structures, the nematocysts. Venom of jellyfish (Medusozoa) and sea anemones (Anthozoa) has been investigated since the 1970s, revealing a remarkable ...

Glow in the D-ARK: a new bioluminescent species of Corallizoanthus (Anthozoa: Zoantharia: Parazoanthidae) from southern Japan [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceBioluminescence is a common phenomenon found in many marine environments and has evolved independently dozens of times across the Tree of Life. In Anthozoa, a single origin of bioluminescence in Octocorallia has been proposed, while the evolution of ...
