On some encrusting Xeniidae (Octocorallia): Re-examination of the type material of Sansibia flava (May, 1898) and a description of new taxa.

Zootaxa, 2022
The type of the xeniid soft coral Sansibia flava (May, 1898) is re-described for the first time and its morphological diagnosis is presented. A subsequent integrated analysis of molecular and morphological characters of related Xeniidae, including ...

Australian Octocorallia (Coelenterata).

Marine and Freshwater Research, 1977
This paper presents a taxonomic treatment of four Australian collections of octocorals belonging to the orders Stolonifera, Telestacea, and Alcyonacea. The four collections are located in the Australian Museum, Sydney, the Department of Fisheries, Adelaide, the National Museum of Victoria, Melbourne, and the Fisheries Laboratory, Queensland Fisheries ...

New mitochondrial gene order arrangements and evolutionary implications in the class Octocorallia

Mitochondrial DNA. Part A, DNA mapping, sequencing, and analysis
The complete mitochondrial genomes of octocorals typically range from 18.5 kb to 20.5 kb in length and include 14 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes and one tRNA.

Expanded distribution and a new genus for rock-inhabiting sea pens (Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Octocorallia, Pennatuloidea).

Zootaxa
Sea pens (Superfamily Pennatuloidea) are a specialized group of octocorals that evolved to live embedded in a soft-sedimented seafloor using their peduncles as anchors.

Some Octocorallia (Coelenterata) from Australia

Australian Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 1977
Two new species of octocorals, Morchellana tixierae, sp. nov., and Solenocaulon grandis, sp. nov., are described. The species were amongst specimens collected from Bowling Green Bay, near Townsville, Queensland. Eight previously described species were also identified among the collected specimens.

Diversity and Distribution of Octocorallia

2016
Octocorals are a group of striking presence in marine benthic communities. With approximately 3400 valid species the taxonomy of the group is still not resolved, mainly because of the variability of morphological characters and lack of optimization of molecular markers. Octocorals are distributed in all seas and oceans of the world, from shallow waters

Molecular systematics of Thouarella (Octocorallia : Primnoidae) with the description of three new species from the Southern Ocean based on combined molecular and morphological evidence

Invertebrate systematics, 2021
. Thouarella Gray, 1870, is one of the most speciose genera among gorgonians of the family Primnoidae (Cnidaria : Octocorallia : Anthozoa), being remarkably diverse in the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic seafloor.

Colonial conduction systems in the Anthozoa: Octocorallia

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1975
ABSTRACT The octocorals Alcyonium digitatum, Pennatula phosphorea and Virgularía mirabilis each have a through-conducting nerve net. The nerve net demonstrated electrophysiologically may well be the same as that previously shown by the use of histological techniques.
