Cladiella Elongata
''Cladiella'' is a genus of soft corals native to the Indo-Pacific region. These corals are commonly known as colt corals or finger leather corals and are often kept in reef aquaria. They grow fast, have short rounded or conical lobes and are sticky to the touch owing to the production of much mucus. They are creamy or pale grey in colour. The polyps are fully retractable and give the colony a fluffy look when extended. They may be a contrasting green or brown hue. Species The World Register of Marine Species lists the following species: *'' Cladiella arborea'' (Utinomi, 1954) *'' Cladiella arbusculoides'' Verseveldt & Benayahu, 1978 *'' Cladiella aspera'' Tixier-Durivault, 1970 *'' Cladiella australis'' (Macfadyen, 1936) *'' Cladiella bottai'' (Tixier-Durivault, 1943) *'' Cladiella brachyclados'' Ehrenberg, 1834 *'' Cladiella ceylonica'' (Pratt, 1905) *'' Cladiella conifera'' (Tixier-Durivault, 1943) *'' Cladiella crassa'' (Tixier-Durivault, 1943) *'' Cladiella daphnae'' va ...

Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...
