Taxonomy
Cladophyllia was named by Milne-Edwards and Haime (1851) [Sepkoski's age data: J Bajo K Albi Sepkoski's reference number: 806]. It is not extant. It is the type genus of Cladophylliidae.
It was assigned to Scleractinia by Sepkoski (2002); to Stylinidae by Götz et al. (2005) and Löser (2010); and to Cladophylliidae by Morycowa and Roniewicz (1990) and Baron-Szabo (2021).

Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| R.C. Baron-Szabo 2021 | Colonial, phaceloid, dendroid, subfasciculate. Corallites free, fused with walls, or connected by exothecal developments. Budding extracalicular and intracalicular by septal division with succeeding dichotomic forking
of corallites. Extracalicular division results in branches standing off at an angle that is up to 90 degrees. Intracalicular-septal division usually results in densely spaced branches which may or may not be connected by their walls and exothecal developments. Symmetry radial or radiobilateral. Corallites subcircular in cross section. Calicular edge sharp. Septa nonexsert, typically arranged in 4 sectors (sensu Morycowa & Roniewicz, 1990). Septal faces with small and sharply pointed granulae. Inner edge with regular, auricular denticles. Interseptal anastomosis present. Costae often reduced or absent. Columella monotrabecular, frequently fused with axial end of one septum. Endotheca composed of tabulate dissepiments (corallite center) and incomplete or complete ring of large peripheral dissepiments. Wall epithecal sensu lato. Parathecal inner wall absent or present, sometimes secondarily thickened. Upper surface of corallite tubes are smooth or wrinkled. In places where epithecal wall is absent, upper surface is striated. Trabecular centers in septa between 30 and 80 μm in diameter. |
