The phylogenetic position of the solitary zoanthid genus Sphenopus (Cnidaria: Hexacorallia)

Abstract: The zoanthid genus Sphenopus (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Zoantharia), like many other brachycnemic zoanthids, is found in shallow subtropical and tropical waters, but is uniquely unitary (solitary, monostomatous), azooxanthellate, and free-living. With sparse knowledge of its phylogenetic position, this study examines the phylogenetic position of Sphenopus within the family Sphenopidae utilizing specimens from southern Taiwan and Brunei collected in 1999-2011, and furthermore analyzes the evolution of its unique char… Show more

“…This azooxanthellate species was originally described from the Philippines, and has not been reported in the literature for over 80 years, excepting two brief mentions in Reimer et al (2012b). Easily discernable from other Sphenopus species by the presence of a ‘foot’ (=peduncle) that is attached to substrate (e.g.…”
