Family CLAVULARIIDAE Hickson, 1894 View in CoL
Subfamily TELESTINAE Milne-Edwards and Haime, 1857 Genus Carijoa Müller, 1867 View in CoL
Diagnosis
Colonies rising from reticulate stolons. Tall axial polyps produce numerous daughters from their lateral walls. Gastrovascular cavity extends along whole polyp – sometimes proximal end is filled in. Gastrovascular cavities of polyp and its secondary (lateral) polyps communicate via solenia. Sclerites of body walls slender, often branching and interlocking, sometimes fusing into smaller or larger clumps, white (adapted from key in Bayer 1981c: 906).
Type species
Carijoa rupicola Müller, 1867 View in CoL (= Clavularia riisei Duchassaing and Michelotti, 1860 View in CoL ).
Remarks
The genus Carijoa , has been included as a synonym of Telesto Lamouroux, 1812 (see Bayer 1981c). However, Bayer (1981c: 906, figs. 2,3) stated that Telesto (type species T. aurantiaca Lamouroux, 1812 ) and Carijoa [type species Carijoa rupicola Müller, 1867 = Carijoa riisei ( Duchassaing and Michelotti, 1860) ] are distinct genera, based on their quite different sclerites from the body wall. We compared specimens from both type species and agreed with Bayer’s remarks.
