# Talk:Anthozoa

Almost all of the links at the bottom seem to say anthrozoa is a class. The text says it's a subphylum. Why, and what does wikipedia treat as a source of truth? Porco-esphino (talk) 04:31, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

In the old taxonomy it was class Anthozoa. In the modern one, that you can consult in WoRMS,[1] it is subphylum Anthozoa. Many articles in Wikipedia still use the old taxonomy but this is slowly changing. If in doubt, use WoRMS. It has the most advanced, more up-to-date information.

I guess they havn't a meduza stage??? So the picture isn't really the best for Anthozoa? Dixi 08:12, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Someone copy and pasted a taxobox a little too quickly, I suspect.  The picture was Scyphozoa, and has been removed.

The info is good in all but can't they atlest put wher in the uderwter world they are, because I dont think my correction that they live in all the ocean is that accurate.--Lava159 23:20, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

They are all marine. Richard001 (talk) 08:22, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

The heading to this page has obvious vandalism. But it goes too far back for me too find it a clean revision. Someone needs to go through and undo it. 72.210.70.128 (talk) 22:33, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

In reading it, I see no glaring errors. Could you point some of them out? Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)  01:22, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
The vandalism I saw was edited out(reverted?) about 3 minutes after I posted this. Sorry for wasting your time Reveiwer. 72.210.70.128 (talk) 20:55, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Not a problem. I enjoy reading about sponges. Well, not really, but I don't mind helping out.  Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)  01:44, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

This article says more than 16,000 Anthozoa species have been described, but how many is extant species? It is hard to find a source for this. Anyone who knows? Höstblomma (talk) 06:31, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

### Comments by Dunkleosteus77
You may want to wikilink marine invertebrates   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  04:32, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:26, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
"strengthened by calcareous and other materials," I think "calcerous" is an adjective, so I'd say replace it with "calcium carbonate"
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:26, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
In the Diversity section, it sounds like the Octocorallia and Hexacorallia have already been discussed, but they haven't yet. Generally I like to put the phylogeny first to bring up all the broad overview stuff, and then move on into more specific branches later   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  04:32, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:26, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
If you wikilink something in the lead, you still have to wikilink it in the rest of the article on first mention (like with "polyp" and "species")   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  04:32, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
you need to work on your wikilinking, a lot of sciencey words (like "pedal disc" and "siphonoglyphs") aren't wikilinked on first mention   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  04:32, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
what exactly is "acontia"?   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  04:32, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:26, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
Be careful when reshuffling sections to make sure everything is wikilinked correctly   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  04:32, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
The wikilinking business is difficult. I have removed some links that were duplicates and added some where the terms first appeared, but I have left some like "taxon" and "taxa", "symbiosis" and "symbiotic", "Antipatharia" and "black coral", and in the tables because I think they are needed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:26, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
ref no. 20 is incomplete   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  04:32, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
I can't complete it because Google Books is restricting which pages I can access. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:15, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
ref no. 21 isn't done correctly   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  04:32, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:15, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
Why is Rugosa in the table but not the other Paleozoic anthozoas?   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  04:32, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
Because it is an important order of stony corals and is mentioned in the classification given above. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:15, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
But why is it more important than all the other Paleozoic anthozoans?   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  17:34, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
Well the classification in the "Phylogeny" section is referenced to WoRMS and that recognises Rugosa as a valid taxon but not Tabulata or Heliolitida. I will remove "Rugosa" if you like. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:22, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
No it's fine, I was just wondering   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  19:14, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
ref no. 32 has a doi 10.1017/S1089332600000073
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:15, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
ref no. 6 has a doi 10.5281/zenodo.180149   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  17:34, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:22, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
you might want to be consistent on how you form the access dates (like choose between 24-7-17 and 24 July 2017)
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:22, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
ref no. 31 is missing authors   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  17:34, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:22, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
File:Giant Green Anemone.gif has a deadlink for the source line   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  19:14, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
I didn't know what to do about that so I replaced the image. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:11, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the review. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:58, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

What are these Ediacaran anthozoans? Mlvluu (talk) 21:48, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

I see that there are two different groupings of Octocorallia:
- Three orders (Alcyonacea, Helioporacea, Pennatulacea)
- Two orders (Macalcyonacea, Scleralcyonacea)
I see some articles use the system with three orders and some use the system with two orders. Which one is correct? Averageschmoe779 (talk) 22:25, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
