Maximum likelihood tree of concatenated mtMutS and igr1+COI mitochondrial gene sequences. Clade numbering system follows McFadden et al. (2009); some clades have been collapsed to facilitate readability. Asterisks indicate species with a funnel-shaped morphology similar to that of Sinularia mesophotica sp. n. Bootstrap values >50% are indicated adjacent to nodes.
