"anthozoa"

“CORALS”

.

(‘Anthozoa’ is a class within the phylum ‘Cnidaria’)

(unlike other cnidarians, anthozoans do not have a medusa stage in their development)

(instead, they release sperm and eggs that form a planula, which attaches to some substrate on which the cnidarian grows)

(some anthozoans can also reproduce asexually through budding)

(more than 6,100 species have been described)

.

(the name comes from the Greek words άνθος (ánthos; “flower”) and ζώα (zóa; “animals”), hence ανθόζωα (anthozoa) = “flower animals”, a reference to the floral appearance of their perennial polyp stage)
