}}Brachycnemina is a suborder of zoanthids in the order Zoantharia.[1] Genetic analysis has been used to suggest Brachycnemina is a monophyletic group diverging within the paraphyletic Macrocnemina.[1] CharacteristicsBrachycnemia species habitate most environments, ranging from shallow tropical reefs to cold seeps in the deep sea. It forms large colonies on intertidal and shallow reef crests.[3] Due to the members of this suborder being loosely collected, there are no standard characteristics uniting them besides slight morphological, ecological and phylogenetic differences.[2] SubdivisionsThis suborder counts with 3 taxonomic families, mainly Neozoanthidae, which is monogeneric and monospecific, known only from Madagascar; Sphenopidae, which includes sand-encrusted and colonial specimens like the commonly found Palythoa and Sphenopus, itself found in a few discrete areas; and Zoanthidae, whose belonging species do not show sand encrustation.[3] A total of 6 known genera and over 163 species are comprised within the Brachycnemina.[3] Palythoa and Zoanthus are two of the most common coral genera and are intensively studied for their bioactive compounds.[4] References1. ^1 {{cite journal|last1=Sinniger|first1=F.|last2=Montoya-Burgos|first2=J.
