• Marine province
• Marine realm
• Ocean basin
• Branching architecture
• Calyx height
• Calyx width
• Colony height
• Colony width
• Coordination of polyps
• Growth form
• Growth form (basic octocorallia)
• Growth form (detailed octocorallia)
• Number of pinnules per tentacle
• Polyp density
• Polyp diameter
• Polyp height
• Polyp retractability
• Tentacle length
• Trunk diameter
• Type of growth
• Growth rate
• Zooxanthellate
• Frequency of reproduction
• Mode of larval development
• Oocyte size at maturity
• Oogenic cycle duration
• Polyp fecundity
