先光海葵屬（學名：Xianguangia）是一種來自中國澄江生物群的軟體海葵類化石動物。^[2]該物種的屬名來自中國古生物學家侯先光。

描述

先光海葵體呈圓柱形，口盤周圍有一圈近16條觸手，與現代珊瑚蟲相似。觸手呈羽毛狀，在軸的兩側有密集的小羽，這很適合濾食。底部的碗形附着盤可能通常被埋在沉積物中，以允許其在海底的固定策略。踏板盤上方的身體寬闊且呈圓柱形，可能對應於內部胃血管腔。它在表面上顯示出幾個明顯的縱向凹槽和脊，表明可能存在腸繫膜。^[3]然，而它的系統發生親和力仍然存在疑問；^[3]它甚至被指稱與埃迪卡拉生物群的成員有關。^[4]

這些化石是在中國雲南省發現的，最初被描述為三個不同的物種，分別為Xianguangia sinica 、Chengjiangopenna wangii和Galeaplumosus abilus，然後在2017年被提議組合成一個物種，也就是Xianguangia sinica。^[5]該物種是息肉狀的，它的胃腔被隔膜隔開；它的固定器中有第二個體腔，還有密密麻麻的羽毛狀觸鬚，這表明它是濾食性動物。早期的刺胞動物可能也是底棲懸索動物，這與後來主要是掠食性的刺胞動物不同。^[5]
