Pseudocorynactis

	Pseudocorynactis ''Corynactis'' is a genus of colonial anthozoans similar in appearance to sea anemones and in body format to scleractinian stony corals. These animals are cnidarians in the family (biology), family Corallimorphidae. Large unidentified polyps of this genus feed on the crown-of-thorns seastar ''Acanthaster planci'' and may help control the crown-of-thorns population.

	Corynactis Delawarei ''Corynactis'' is a genus of colonial anthozoans similar in appearance to sea anemones and in body format to scleractinian stony corals. These animals are cnidarians in the family Corallimorphidae.
