  Acantharea
The Acantharea are a small group of radiolarian protozoa.
Reproduction is by formation of spores, which may be flagellate, that develop into mononucleate amoebae.
The Acantharea are distinguished mainly by their skeletons.

 Palaeos Eukarya: Rhizaria
All radiolarians secrete strontium sulphate at some point in the life cycle — as the adult shell in Acantharea, and as crystals in ‘swarmer cells’ produced during asexual reproduction in Polycystinea.
Phaeodarea were traditionally included in Radiolaria, and share with Acantharea and Polycystinea the traits of a glassy shell (formed of a combination of silica and organic material in Phaeodarea) and a capsule dividing the cytoplasm into inner and outer compartments.
In the Radiolaria as here defined, however, the capsule is thin and perforated by numerous pores — in Phaeodarea, the capsule is much thicker, and usually only three pores pass through it, the astropylum and and usually two parapyla situated at the opposite pole.

 Acantharea
These are composed of strontium sulphate crystals, which do not fossilize, and take the form of either ten diametric or twenty radial spines.
Reproduction takes place by formation of spores, which may be flagellate, which develop into mononucleate amoebae.
The axopods of Acantharea are fixed in number, and the mitochondria have tubular cristae.

My treatment of Acantharea is about the same as that of Febvre (1990) and Febvre et al.
However, my taxonomic scheme which has 3 orders for the Polycystinea is quite different from that of Cachon et al.
(2004) in which Acantharea, Taxopodida, and Polycystina appear to be part of a single clade.

 Radiolarian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The main class of radiolarians are the Polycystinea, which produce siliceous skeletons.
They also include the Acantharea, which produce skeletons of strontium sulfate.
German biologist Ernst Haeckel produced exquisite (and perhaps somewhat exaggerated) drawings of radiolaria, helping to popularize these protists among Victorian parlor microscopists alongside foraminifera and diatoms.

In addition to these, Acantharea (11 entries), Phaeodarea (3 entries), Polycystinea (20 entries) have been reported.
Therefore, although the result could not be reproducibly tested, as the same genome cannot be obtained again, it is very plausible that the DNA sequence we obtained and used for GP analysis was that of a Radiolarian 18S rDNA that had never been sequenced.
