Family Alcyoniidae View in CoL
Alcyoniids have fleshy or membranous colonies, a bare stalk (if present) and scattered polyps not arranged in clusters. Some species may have lobes but are not considered truly arborescent or branching. Refer to Verseveldt and Bayer (1988) for some revisions within this family.
The family is represented by only one species in the SAB, Bellonella rubistella ( Deichmann, 1936) .
