Abstract
The antipatharians in Korea were known with three species and two genera belonging to family Antipathidae. In the present study, three species, Antipathes densa, A. grandiflora, and A. dubia, have been newly recorded to Korean antipatharian fauna with the samples collected from Jeju-do during the period from 2003 to 2005. The description was mainly based on the habitat, the branching mode of corallums, the size and arrangement of polyps and spines on the axis, and also the types of cnidae. They had three kinds of cnidae: spirocyst, basitrich, and microbasic p-mastigophore. Spirocysts and basitrichs were distributed at tentacles and microbasic p-mastigophores were mainly at septal filaments.
