List Of Sea Anemone Families
''Actiniaria'' form an order of animals in the class Anthozoa that includes sea anemones. Taxonomy Rodriguez et al proposed a new classification for the Actiniaria based on extensive DNA results.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. PLoS ONE 9(5): e96998. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0096998 Suborders, Superfamilies and Families included in Actiniaria are: * Suborder Anenthemonae ** Superfamily Edwardsioidea *** Family Edwardsiidae ** Superfamily Actinernoidea *** Family Actinernidae *** Family Halcuriidae * Suborder Enthemonae ** Superfamily Actinostoloidea *** Family Actinostolidae *** Family Halcampulactidae ** Superfamily Actinioidea *** Family Actiniidae *** Family Actinodendridae *** Family Andresiidae * ...

Haeckel Actiniae
Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (; 16 February 1834 – 9 August 1919) was a German zoologist, naturalist, eugenicist, philosopher, physician, professor, marine biologist and artist. He discovered, described and named thousands of new species, mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms and coined many terms in biology, including ''ecology'', ''phylum'', ''phylogeny'', and ''Protista.'' Haeckel promoted and popularised Charles Darwin's work in Germany and developed the influential but no longer widely held recapitulation theory ("ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny") claiming that an individual organism's biological development, or ontogeny, parallels and summarises its species' evolutionary development, or phylogeny. The published artwork of Haeckel includes over 100 detailed, multi-colour illustrations of animals and sea creatures, collected in his ''Kunstformen der Natur'' ("Art Forms of Nature"), a book which would go on to influence the Art Nouveau artistic move ...

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' ...
