Corynactis Australis
''Corynactis'' is a genus of colonial anthozoans similar in appearance to sea anemones and in body format to scleractinian stony corals. These animals are cnidarians in the family (biology), family Corallimorphidae. Large unidentified polyps of this genus feed on the crown-of-thorns seastar ''Acanthaster planci'' and may help control the crown-of-thorns population. Species Species so far described in this genus include: *''Corynactis annulata'' Verrill, 1867 *''Corynactis australis'' Haddon & Duerden, 1896 *''Corynactis caboverdensis'' den Hartog, Ocaña & Brito, 1993 *''Corynactis californica'' Carlgren, 1936 *''Corynactis caribbeorum'' den Hartog, 1980 *''Corynactis carnea'' Studer, 1879 *''Corynactis chilensis'' Carlgren, 1941 *''Corynactis delawarei'' Widersten, 1976 *''Corynactis denhartogi'' Ocaña, 2003 *''Corynactis denticulosa'' Le Sueur, 1817 *''Corynactis globulifera'' Hemprich & Ehrenberg in Ehrenberg, 1834 *''Corynactis parvula'' Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1860 *''Cor ...

Corallimorpharia
Corallimorpharia is an order of marine cnidarians closely related to stony or reef building corals ( Scleractinia). They occur in both temperate and tropical climates, although they are mostly tropical. Temperate forms tend to be very robust, with wide and long columns, whereas tropical forms tend to have very short columns with a wide oral disc and very short tentacles. The tentacles are usually arranged in rows radiating from the mouth. Many species occur together in large groups, although there are recorded instances of individuals. In many respects, they resemble the stony corals, except for the absence of a stony skeleton. Morphological and molecular evidence suggests that they are very closely related to stony corals. Corallimorpharians occur in a wide range of marine habitats, and can be associated with phase shifts in coral reef ecosystems that result in a change from a hard-coral dominated reef to a soft-coral dominated one. They have been observed to overgrow reefs in ...

Corynactis Viridis
''Corynactis viridis'', the jewel anemone, is a brightly coloured anthozoan similar in body form to a sea anemone or a scleractinian coral polyp, but in the order Corallimorpharia. It is found in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea The Mediterranean Sea ( ) is a sea connected to the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by the Mediterranean basin and almost completely enclosed by land: on the east by the Levant in West Asia, on the north by Anatolia in West Asia and Southern Eur ... and was first described by the Irish naturalist George Allman in 1846. Description The column of this species is smooth and roughly cylindrical, being slightly wider at the base and oral disc than in the centre. The base can grow to a diameter of about and is often ragged in outline; this is because the animal divides by longitudinal fission, and sometimes the two new individuals remain partially united. The individuals are usually found in dense aggregations, but each animal ...
