(Redirected from Biology:Iridogorgia)
Chrysogorgiidae is a family of soft corals in the suborder Scleralcyonacea.[1] So far, the only fossil record for the family are specimens tentatively identified as Radicipes sp. from Oligocene deep-water strata in western Washington State, USA. On the deep sea seamounts southwest of Hawaii, the Chrysogorgiidae are the most abundant family of corals.[2]
Genera
The following genera are recognised as members of family Chrysogorgiidae:[3][4]
- Chrysogorgia Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864
- Iridogorgia Verrill, 1883
- Metallogorgia Versluys, 1902
- Parachrysogorgia Xu, Zhan & Xu, 2023
- Pseudochrysogorgia Pante & France, 2010
- Radicipes Stearns, 1883
- Ramuligorgia Cairns, Cordeiro & Xu in Cairns et al., 2021
- Rhodaniridogorgia Watling, 2007
In addition, a number of other genera have been previously assigned to this family. A recent taxonomic revision based on phylogenomic analysis either found them not to belong to the family or couldn't place them because there was no suitable molecular data for analysis.[4]
- Chalcogorgia Bayer, 1949
- Distichogorgia Bayer, 1979
- Flagelligorgia Cairns & Cordeiro, 2017
- Helicogorgia Verrill, 1883
- Pleurogorgia Versluys, 1902 (tentatively moved to Pleurogorgiidae)
- Trichogorgia Hickson, 1904 (tentatively moved to Ifalukellidae)
- Stephanogorgia Bayer & Muzik, 1976
- Xenogorgia Bayer & Muzik, 1976
