Enthemonae
The Enthemonae is a suborder of sea anemones in the order Actiniaria. It comprises those sea anemones with typical arrangement of mesenteries for actiniarians.Rodríguez, E., Barbeitos, M. S., Brugler, M.R., Crowley, L. M., Grajales, A., Gusmão, L., Häussermann, V., Reft, A. & Daly, M. (2104). Hidden among sea anemones: The first comprehensive phylogenetic reconstruction of the order Actiniaria (Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Hexacorallia) reveals a novel group of hexacorals. The Enthemonae is any member of the invertebrate suborder characterised by soft bodied, marine animals that look like flowers which primarily attach to hard or rigid surfaces, such as coral or rocks. An Enthemonae is a suborder of sea anemone of the order Actiniaria, which includes the overall majority of the actiniarians, which belong to the former groups of Protantheae, Ptychodacteae, and Nynantheae. Classification It is seen that within the suborder of Enthemonae there are 46 families showing the large amou ...

Thalassianthidae
Thalassianthidae is a family of sea anemones that contains the genera ''Actineria'', ''Cryptodendrum,'' ''Heterodactyla'', and ''Thalassianthus''.World Register of Marine Species. (2016). Thalassianthidae Milne Edwards, 1857. http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=196167 These sea anemones do not host any varieties of clownfishes, but have been associated with some species of commensal anemone shrimp.Tree of Life. (2000). Thalassianthidae. http://tolweb.org/Thalassianthidae/18326 Research has shown that three species of sea anemones belonging to the family Thalassianthidae - (''Cryptodendrum adhaesivum'', ''Heterodactyla hemprichii'' and ''Thalassianthus aster'') - contain type 2 sodium channel peptide toxins capable of causing lethality to freshwater crabs. In addition, high molecular weight toxins appear to be a new type of toxin in the Thalassianthidae family of sea anemone Sea anemones are a group of predation, predatory marine invertebrates of the order ...

Stichodactylidae
Stichodactylidae is a family of sea anemones that contains the genera ''Stichodactyla'' (carpet anemones) and ''Heteractis''. These sea anemones exclusively reside within the shallow waters of the tropical Indo-Pacific area and are in the main family of sea anemones that hosts several varieties of clownfishes. Most sea anemone species are harmless to humans, but at least some ''Stichodactyla'' are highly venomous and their sting may cause anaphylactic shock and organ failure (notably acute liver failure). In contrast, the venom of ''Heteractis '' has shown potential in treatment of lung cancer. Discovery Collingwood C. first discovered ''Stichodactylidae'' back in 1868 after taking note on the existence of gigantic sea-anemones in the China Sea, containing quasi-parasitic fish. Genera and species The following species are recognized within the family Stichodactylidae: *Genus ''Heteractis'' **''Heteractis aurora'' **Sebae anemone (''Heteractis crispa'') **''Heteractis magnifica' ...

Sea Anemone
Sea anemones are a group of predation, predatory marine invertebrates of the order (biology), order Actiniaria. Because of their colourful appearance, they are named after the ''Anemone'', a terrestrial flowering plant. Sea anemones are classified in the phylum Cnidaria, class Anthozoa, subclass Hexacorallia. As cnidarians, sea anemones are related to corals, jellyfish, tube-dwelling anemones, and ''hydra (genus), Hydra''. Unlike jellyfish, sea anemones do not have a Jellyfish#Life history and behavior, medusa stage in their life cycle. A typical sea anemone is a single polyp (zoology), polyp attached to a hard surface by its base, but some species live in soft sediment, and a few float near the surface of the water. The polyp has a columnar trunk topped by an oral disc with a ring of tentacles and a central mouth. The tentacles can be retracted inside the body cavity or expanded to catch passing prey. They are armed with cnidocytes (stinging cells). In many species, additional n ...
