Anthozoa is one of the three subphyla of Cnidaria, along with Medusozoa and Endocnidozoa. It includes sessile marine invertebrates and invertebrates of brackish water, such as sea anemones, stony corals, soft corals and sea pens. Almost all adult anthozoans are attached to the seabed, while their larvae exist as zooplankton. The basic unit of the adult is the polyp, an individual animal consisting of a cylindrical column topped by a disc with a central mouth surrounded by tentacles. Sea anemones are mostly solitary, but the majority of corals are colonial, being formed by the budding of new po

OverviewAI-generated

Anthozoa is a class within the phylum Cnidaria of the kingdom Animalia. The taxon was described by Ehrenberg in 1834 and is commonly referred to as anthozoans. According to the World Register of Marine Species, the taxon has an accepted status and is classified as a subphylum. Its habitats include marine and brackish environments. The group has existed for approximately 570 million years.

Records of Anthozoa are held by several institutions, including LACM, SDNHM, UWBM, YPM, and USNM, primarily within the United States. These collections comprise 19,908 records and 3,387 media items. Broader occurrence data indicates 37,787,149 recorded instances, while scientific literature contains 11,865 related publications.

花虫綱（かちゅうこう、Anthozoa）は刺胞動物門の分類群の一つ。イソギンチャクやサンゴを含む。他の刺胞動物と異なり、その発生段階においてクラゲの時期を経ない。その代わりに、精子と卵子を放出してそれらがプラヌラを形成し、基質に付着して成長する。出芽などにより無性生殖で増えるものもある。 刺胞動物門の動物は、刺胞で食物を捕捉する。イソギンチャクは主に魚、サンゴはプランクトンを餌とする。造礁サンゴなどのように藻類や渦鞭毛藻と共生する種もいる。褐虫藻はホストが排出する窒素化合物や二酸化炭素を得、その代わりにホストは褐虫藻の生産物を取り込み、炭酸カルシウムの生産量を増やすことができる。 イソギンチャクやある種のサンゴは単独で生活するが、多くのサンゴは遺伝的に同一のポリプからなる群体を作る。そのようなポリプは形態的にはイソギンチャクによく似ているが、遙かに小さい。
