Classification and evolution of the burrowing sea anemones (Anthozoa: Actiniaria: Athenaria): a review of the past and current views

Abstract: The opinions of systematists about the classification and evolution of burrowing sea anemones have repeatedly changed over the long-term study of Actiniaria. Four stages can be distinguished over the course of the classification history. Each system was characterized by the use of mainly one particular feature. These features were: (1) characters of the external morphology, (2) arrangement of the mesenteries, (3) presence or absence of the basilar muscles and (4) molecular markers. The views on the origin and … Show more

“…Scleractinia, often known as hard or stony corals, are Cnidaria phylum aquatic creatures that produce a hard bone structure (Cairns, 2007;Cairns et al, 2009). Alcyonaria, which includes roughly three thousand water-based species made up of eight-fold symmetric colonial polyps, is an Anthozoa subgroup (Ivanova, 2020). Soft corals make up the majority of the Alcyonaria subclass (Ghallab et al, 2020).…”

“…Despite the widespread use of the system for Actiniaria proposed by Rodríguez & Daly in Rodríguez et al . (2014), I adhere to Carlgren's (1949) classification, since I do not consider Rodríguez & Daly's system to be exhaustive; in my opinion, the transition to a system based on molecular markers is still premature (see Ivanova, 2020).…”
