actinozoa การใช้
- He wrote the volumes dealing with Amorphozoa, Actinozoa, and Malacozoa, published 1859-1862; the work was continued by other naturalists.
- Huxley's Actinozoa comprised the sea-anemones, corals and sea pens, on the one hand, and the Ctenophora ( comb jellies ) on the other.
- Modern biology confirms Huxley's criticism of De Blainville's Actinozoa, and upholds Hydrozoa, but it is now known that the Ctenophora are only distantly related to jellyfish and their relatives, so Huxley's Actinozoa and Coelentera are no longer used ( though the name Actinozoa is occasionally applied to the Anthozoa ).

- These he called Coelentera, and showed that they had no special affinity with echinoderms, polyzoa, etc . He further divided the Coelentera into a group Hydrozoa, in which the sexually produced embryos were usually set free from the surface of the body, and a group Actinozoa, in which the embryos are detached from the interior of the body and escape generally by the oral aperture.
