Definition: The term "Corallistidae" refers to a group of marine invertebrates, which includes corals and other types of sea anemones. These animals are characterized by their unique structure, known as the stipe, which is composed of many interconnected structures that function like a bone or cartilaginous backbone. The stipe serves as a platform for supporting the coralline skeleton, which includes the exoskeleton, mantle, and soft tissues.
