自世纪中期以来，自然历史学家和分类学专家对百慕大珊瑚礁动物的生物多样性进行了广泛研究。在百慕大发现的石珊瑚属和珊瑚珊瑚属的最初记录和名称的简短分类历史最终形成了目前公认的物种的完整和最新列表。据报告，百慕大专属经济区内有26种浅水偶氮黄藻和虫黄藻石珊瑚，23种深水偶氮黄藻石珊瑚; 25种浅水尖吻珊瑚，33种深水尖吻珊瑚;以及8种对生珊瑚。对百慕大专属经济区的中光区和深层环境进行的几次潜水勘探发现了新的石珊瑚、珊瑚虫和反珊瑚虫物种记录。最近和新记录的6个scleractinians，24个scenocorallians和2 antipatharian种，在这次审查中，包括第一个文件的scleractinian家庭Flabellidae，Stenocyathidae，Turbinoliidae，scenocoral家庭Nephtheidae，Chyrsogorgiidae，Isididae，Keroeidididae和Clavulariidae，和antipatharian家庭Schizopathidae在百慕大群岛。对百慕大的Isophyllia rigida、Montastraea annularis和Siderophylea siderea记录的混淆进行了解释。
The biodiversity of Bermuda’s coral reef fauna has been extensively studied by natural historians and taxonomic specialists since the mid- nineteenth century. Short taxonomic histories of the initial records and names of Scleractinia and Octocorallia found in Bermuda culminate in complete and up-to-date lists of the currently accepted species. There are 26 species of shallow-water azooxanthellate and zooxanthellate scleractinians, and 23 species of deep water azooxanthellate scleractinians reported from within the Bermuda EEZ; 25 species of shallow-water octocorallians and 33 of deep-water octocorals; and eight antipatharians. A few submersible explorations of the mesophotic zone and the deeper environs of Bermuda’s exclusive economic zone have revealed new species records for scleractinians, octocorallians and antipatharians. Recent and new records for six scleractinians, 24 octocorallians and 2 antipatharian species, presented in this review, include the first documentation of the scleractinian families Flabellidae, Stenocyathidae, and Turbinoliidae, the octocoral families Nephtheidae, Chyrsogorgiidae, Isididae, Keroeididae and Clavulariidae, and the antipatharian family Schizopathidae in Bermuda. Explanations are provided for confusion regarding records of Isophyllia rigida, Montastraea annularis, and Siderastraea siderea in Bermuda.
