The genus Chloromorum is not a validly published name. Its first mention is from a 2008 journal article that states its author and publication as "Tomas et al., submitted for publication",[4] but it was never published. The genus contains a single species, Chloromorum toxicum, which is a renaming of the taxon Chattonella cf. verruculosa. Allegedly, Chloromorum composes a new algal class known as Chloromorophyceae, but due to not being validly published (i.e. nomen nudum), it is an illegal taxon.[5]
