| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| J. Vacelet et al. 2009 | Cladorhizidae with a slender stalk and spherical body with filamentous processes that may be inflated and turgid in life. The base of attachment may be root-like or solid. Axial skeleton composed of monactinal megascleres (mycalostyles), from which radiating extra-axial tracts diverge to lateral processes. Microscleres include unguiferous anchorate isochelae (modified from Hajdu & Vacelet 2002). |
