Wedler (1973), based on samples collected between March 1971 and June 1972, documented the presence of all four species listed in Table Cnidaria within the CGSM lagoon complex. Blanco et al. (1994) were the first to report on the Banco de las Ánimas Reef, located in the Gulf of Salamanca within the CGSM Ecoregion, following their research conducted from October 1991 to March 1992. Their observations indicated a seabed largely dominated by coral, primarily composed of partially living laminar and crustose forms belonging to the genus Agaricia, though only identified to the genus level. Álvarez-León (2003, 2006), in a study carried out between October 1984 and December 1985, sampled eight stations within the CGSM complex, confirming the presence of Calyptospadix cerulea. As a result, four species representing four genera, four families, and three orders have been confirmed for the Cnidaria group in the CGSM Ecoregion.
