For example, corals and anemones have mouths through which food enters into their stomachs, which, in turn, have tissue partitions aiding digestion. It has long been thought that corals and anemones are related. But how are ... Evolutionary relationships among sampled hexacorallians (the larger group to which corals belong).

Pervasive morphological convergence at the family level has obscured the evolutionary distinctiveness of Atlantic corals. Some Atlantic genera conventionally assigned to different families are more closely related to each other than they are to their respective Pacific 'congeners'.

It is shown that, with an increased sampling effort, previously identified 'rare' symbiont types within this group of host species are in fact environmental specialists. Furthermore, the cohesive species concept is explored to explain how niche partitioning may drive diversification of closely related symbiont lineages.

Three main lines of evidence have suggested that some stony corals are more closely related to one or more of the soft-bodied hexacorallian groups than they are to other scleractinians: (i) morphological similarities;
