Stolonifera
Stolonifera is a suborder of soft corals in the order Alcyonacea. Members of this taxon are characterised by having separate polyps budding off an encrusting horizontal, branching stolon. The skeletons include spicules or consists of a horny external cuticle. These soft corals are found in shallow tropical and temperate seas. Families According to the World Register of Marine Species, the following families are included in this suborder: * Acrossotidae * Arulidae * Clavulariidae * Coelogorgiidae * Cornulariidae * Pseudogorgiidae * Tubiporidae References Alcyonacea Stolonifera, Cnidarian suborders {{Octocorallia-stub ...

Alcyonacea
Alcyonacea is the old scientific order name for the informal group known as "soft corals". It is now an unaccepted name for class Octocorallia. It became deprecated . The following text should be considered a historical, outdated way of treating the taxonomy of Anthozoa and Octocorallia. Some, or many parts of it, are no longer valid. Any remaining information found to be still valid, should be carefully merged into Octocorallia. Alcyonacea are an order of sessile colonial cnidarians that are found throughout the oceans of the world, especially in the deep sea, polar waters, tropics and subtropics. Whilst not in a strict taxonomic sense, Alcyonacea are commonly known as soft corals. The term "soft coral" generally applies to organisms in the two orders Pennatulacea and Alcyonacea with their polyps embedded within a fleshy mass of coenenchymal tissue. Consequently, the term "gorgonian coral" is commonly handed to multiple species in the order Alcyonacea that produce a min ...

Tubiporidae
''Tubipora'' is a genus of soft coral. It is the only genus within the monotypic family Tubiporidae. Tubipora is a soft coral and has an aragonite skeleton, so they are crucial for building reefs around the world. Also, their red color in their aragonite skeleton is caused by iron salts or something called carotenoids. They also have 8 tentacles. Species The following species are recognized: * '' Tubipora chamissonis'' Ehrenberg, 1834 * '' Tubipora fimbriata'' Dana, 1846 * '' Tubipora hemprichi'' Ehrenberg, 1834 * ''Tubipora musica The organ pipe coral (''Tubipora musica'') is an alcyonarian Octocorallia, octocoral native to the waters of the Indian Ocean and the central and western regions of the Pacific Ocean.

Clavulariidae
Clavulariidae is a family (biology), family of Alcyonacea, soft corals in the suborder Stolonifera. Colonies in this family consist of separate retractable polyp (zoology), polyps growing from a horizontal, encrusting stolon or basal membrane. The tissues are stiffened by sclerites. Genera The World Register of Marine Species includes the following Genus, genera in the family: *''Altumia'' Benayahu, McFadden & Shoham, 2017 *''Azoriella'' (Lopez Gonzalez & Gili, 2001) *''Bathytelesto'' Bayer, 1981 *''Carijoa'' Mueller, 1867 *''Clavularia'' Blainville, 1830 *''Cryptophyton'' Williams, 2000 *''Cyathopodium'' Verrill, 1868 *''Denhartogia'' Ocaña & van Ofwegen, 2003 *''Inconstantia'' McFadden & van Ofwegen, 2012 *''Incrustatus'' van Ofwegen, Häussermann & Försterra, 2007 *''Knopia'' Alderslade & McFadden, 2007 *''Moolabalia'' Alderslade, 2001 *''Paratelesto'' Utinomi, 1958 *''Phenganax'' Alderslade & McFadden, 2011 *''Pseudocladochonus'' Versluys, 1907 *''Rhodelinda'' Bayer, 1981 * ...

Sydney John Hickson
Sydney John Hickson FRS (25 June 1859 – 6 February 1940), was a British zoologist known for his groundbreaking research in evolution, embryology, genetics, and systematics. Hickson travelled in the Malay archipelago in 1885–1886. He was appointed Professor of Zoology at the University of Manchester in 1894 and was elected FRS in 1895. The Manchester Museum has many specimens of coral that came from Sydney Hickson, a specialist on corals. These include a number of type specimens of names published by Hickson and others, including Stanley Gardiner. Hickson'papersare held at the University of Manchester Library. Hickson was President of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society from 1915 to 1917. He collected plants in Indonesia, Mexico, and Arizona. His botanical specimens are stored at Kew Gardens Kew Gardens is a botanical garden, botanic garden in southwest London that houses the "largest and most diverse botany, botanical and mycology, mycological collect ...

Stolon
In biology, a stolon ( from Latin ''wikt:stolo, stolō'', genitive ''stolōnis'' – "branch"), also known as a runner, is a horizontal connection between parts of an organism. It may be part of the organism, or of its skeleton. Typically, animal stolons are exoskeletons (external skeletons). In botany In botany, stolons are plant stems which grow at the soil surface or just below ground that form adventitious roots at the Node (botany), nodes, and new plants from the buds. Stolons are often called runners. Rhizomes, in contrast, are root-like stems that may either grow horizontally at the soil surface or in other orientations underground. Thus, not all horizontal stems are called stolons. Plants with stolons are called stoloniferous. A stolon is a plant propagation strategy and the complex of individuals formed by a mother plant and all its Cloning, clones produced from stolons form a single genetic individual, a genet (biology), genet. Morphology Stolons may have long or shor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
World Register Of Marine Species
The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is a taxonomic database that aims to provide an authoritative and comprehensive catalogue and list of names of marine organisms. Content The content of the registry is edited and maintained by scientific specialists on each group of organism. These taxonomists control the quality of the information, which is gathered from the primary scientific literature as well as from some external regional and taxon-specific databases. WoRMS maintains valid names of all marine organisms, but also provides information on synonyms and invalid names. It is an ongoing task to maintain the registry, since new species are constantly being discovered and described by scientists; in addition, the nomenclature and taxonomy of existing species is often corrected or changed as new research is constantly being published. Subsets of WoRMS content are made available, and can have separate badging and their own home/launch pages, as "subregisters", such as th ...
