Corymorphidae is a family of hydroid cnidarians. For long placed in a presumed superfamily or infraorder Tubulariida of suborder Capitata, they are actually close relatives of the Hydridae and are now united with these and a number of relatives in a newly recognized suborder Aplanulata.[1] Most, if not all species in this family grow on stalks and resemble small flowers.
According to the World Register of Marine Species, the following genera are contained in this family:
- Branchiocerianthus Mark, 1898
- Corymorpha M. Sars, 1835
- Euphysa Forbes, 1848
- Euphysilla Kramp, 1955
- Gymnogonos Bonnevie, 1898
