Tree of Life (IMAGE)
Caption
This figure shows the new phylogenetic reconstruction of the sub-class Hexacorallia, which includes stony corals, anemones, and black corals. The position of Relicanthus daphneae, previously thought to be a giant sea anemone, was found to be outside of that group, in a new order of animals.
