The Caryophylliidae are a family of hard corals . The approximately 300 species include tropical, large polyp stony corals as well as the cold water corals of the genera Lophelia that live in temperate seas to great depths . The subfamily Euphylliinae , which was formerly part of the family, was raised to the rank of family by Veron . Some Caryophylliidae species live in symbiosis with zooxanthellae and obtain most of the nutrients they need from them, others are azooxanthellate (without zooxanthellae) and live exclusively by catching plankton. The coral colonies often only consist of a few polyps .
The family is probably polyphyletic , its monophyly is not confirmed by modern molecular biological analyzes. Numerous extinct hard coral genera are also placed in the family.
