Caninia is an extinct genus of rugose coral. Its fossils occur worldwide from the Devonian to the Permian periods.
Paleoecology
It was marine in nature and known to live in lagoon-type ecosystems. Because of the shallow water in which it lived, Caninia was often affected by processes above the water level, such as storms.
