Kyphophyllum It is a rough coral. Rugose corals (Rugosa or Tetracoralla) are an extinct group of anthozoans (a class of animals from the phylum Cnidaria that are exclusively polyp-shaped). tetracoralaria.​

Solitary rugose corals (e.g. Kyphophyllum, Caninia, Lophophyllidium, Neozaphrentis, Streptelasma) are often called horn corals because they have a single horn-shaped chamber with a wrinkled or wrinkled wall. When radiating septa are present, they are generally in multiples of four, hence they are also called Tetracoralaria. The presence of these septa causes these corals to present bilateral symmetry, unlike common cnidarians.

Heliolites is an extinct genus of tabulated corals in the family Heliolitidae. Tabulate corals are an extinct group of anthozoans hexacoralarios who lived during much of the Paleozoic; They became extinct at the end of the Permian.
