👉 Haemopidae are a family of corals, mollusks, and other soft-bodied animals that primarily inhabit marine environments, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region. They include a wide range of species, ranging from small marine corals to larger hard-shelled animals such as shrimp or crabs. The term "hemopoietic" refers to their ability to produce blood cells through their growth cycles and is crucial for their survival in the aquatic world.
