Genera

The World Register of Marine Species lists the following genera:[2]

gollark: I literally released my aborted entry to the last round! Which gave a lot of hints about this one! As Macron's developer, you should NOTICE this stuff.
gollark: Particularly in you, LyricLy.
gollark: I'm not surprised nobody guessed me, but I *am* disappointed.
gollark: That was put there because I wanted the grids to have borders, and that is a nice way to implement borders.
gollark: Anyway, I'd now like to discuss the phenomenological implications of `border: 1px solid black;`.
