Antillogorgia Bipinnata
''Antillogorgia bipinnata'', the bipinnate sea plume, is a species of Colony (biology), colonial Alcyonacea, soft coral, a Gorgonian, sea fan in the family (biology), family Gorgoniidae. It is found in the Caribbean Sea. It was Species description, first described as ''Pseudopterogorgia bipinnata '' in 1864 by the American zoologist Addison Emery Verrill. Williams and Chen (2012), transferred all the Atlantic species of ''Pseudopterogorgia'' to ''Antillogorgia. Description ''Antillogorgia bipinnata'' is a colonial soft coral growing in the form of a bipinnate fan usually in a single plane. It can grow to a height of about with a slightly smaller width. It consists of a main stem with several branches, with regularly-spaced pairs of branchlets. The branchlets are stiff, slightly flattened, and typically long and in diameter. They are spaced about apart and project at an angle of about 65° from the branch. The apertures from which the polyps protrude are small and slit-like and ...

Antillogorgia Elisabethae
''Antillogorgia elisabethae'' is a species of soft coral found in the Caribbean Sea in the shape of a sea plume (also called a sea whip). It resides from depths of to , often at reef drop-offs. It looks like a plume of feathery appendages with radial symmetry. The branches of ''A. elisabethae'' are pinnate and distichous, and will orient themselves in the direction of the ocean current. It ranges in size from to . It is considered commercially important as it is harvested for analgesics and cosmetic creams. The compound that is believed to cause its beneficial effects is Pseudopterosin A, a diterpene glycoside, a selective analgesic. ''A. elisabethae'' is also used in fish tanks as a part of the commercial pet industry. The species has a Least Concern conservation status. Reproduction The female exposes her eggs to the water current by placing them on her reproductive polyps. Sperm will eventually come into contact with the eggs, and the fertilized egg will develop into a ...

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...

Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. However, only about 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a two-part name, a "binomial". The first part of a binomial is the genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name or the specific epithet (in botanical nomenclature, also sometimes i ...
